I took the subway to the EUR area in the early morning: Marco Palazzotti, our Fedora Italian Ambassador in Rome (can I change his nickname from MEP to ‘hero‘ ? ;-)), had already bought savoury/sweet pies, drinks and a beer vat. We quickly reached our event location: Roma 12 Associazione Sportiva. They offered us for free a big-sized sports hall full of lighting, tables and chairs.
Rome, probably one of the most beautiful - full of historical sights - cities in the whole world, held our Fedora 9 Release Party last Saturday.
I left Milan on Friday afternoon by using our national high-speed railway line: 580km in about 4h30min!
Arrived at Roma Termini’s railway station, a really good friend of mine was already there waiting me! He kindly hosted me at his house in Rome for two nights.
I spent the evening preparing my two presentations: the first one about “The Fedora Project“, the other one about “F9’s Release notes“. Previous to sleep, I set up all my toys: an XO machine (re-installed with its latest stable build, 656), a FON AP with its “Fontenna” (weatherproof indoor/outdoor directional antenna) and my shiny Lenovo Thinkpad X31.
