What

• This workshop on Fedora 3.0 will explore its various new features (ReST, API-M lite, Content Object Models, etc). We’ll keep the day open at this point to allow for suggestions regarding applicable workshop activities.
• If you are new to Fedora or are just interested in those "Fedora folk", please come along. We'll start at the beginning (installation) and make our way through as much as possible (complex object models). And yes Fedora can be set up in just a day, actually in an hour! Come along we'll give you a live instance to play with!

Where

• The event will be in Bloomsbury London (Birkbeck College)
• Map Here[1] (building 1, entrance from Tavistock Square):
• George Birkbeck Bar (4th Floor) ask at reception.

When

• Thursday February 7th, 2008 (Novice start at 9am / Advanced start at 10.30am)
  • We’ll begin the day at 9.00am to work with individuals in setting up Fedora 3.0 on Amazon Web Services (EC2 and S3) so they will have a working instance to play with throughout the day. If you would like to get started on setting up your own instance right now, see our documentation at Fedorazon_How_to_Guides
  • Other who already have an instance up and running we’ll look to begin working on Fedora 3.0 at 10.30am, please arrive a bit early to set up WiFi.
• We’ll end the days work at around 16.30 and head to the pub to carry on further important discussions over a couple of pints, so do book a late train :)

Who

• Any and all are invited: developers, librarians, administrators, we’ll have people on hand to explain to all audiences.
• Matt Zumwalt (visiting from the States) will be the instructor for the day, so most of you already probably know his expertise in Fedora. For those of you who don’t we suggest you do make an effort to visit this workshop, you will learn a lot to say the least!

Cost

• You get here and we’ll take care of the rest, including the pizza, eg there is no cost for the workshop.
• Please bring a laptop with WiFi capabilities.
