Let me ask a question here - when someone is introduced to a subject or topic, the ideal way to assess the impact of the introduction is to have a 'test' or, 'set of questions'. I am fairly sure that what works for academia, should work for FOSS/Fedora too. So, have there been small tasks that were discussed ? For example, now that they have been introduced to Fedora, jotting down their notes about how they make things work viz. their network or something ? > Among the participants, there were some new faces (~10).

The success of a meeting is not determined from how many folks recall the order of speakers after a month, but, how many come up to the speakers to ask how they can be of use. -- You see things; and you say 'Why?'; But I dream things that never were; and I say 'Why not?' - George Bernard Shaw Sent from Pune, MH, India _______________________________________________ Users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.dgplug.org/listinfo.cgi/users-dgplug.org
