En premier lieu, je dois t'avouer que les dates ne sont pas vraiment pratiques pour moi, surtout en plein milieu de la semaine. Quoi qu'il en soit, je suis disposé à fournir l'aide nécessaires pour assurer la représentation de FreeBSD aux RMLL. Voici ce que je peux te proposer : * je dispose d'un stock de flyers couleur en français et anglais ~500 traitant des divers aspects de FreeBSD (ports, installation serveur, BSD vs Linux ) stock d'"Invendus" lors du dernier fosdem. Tu peux en avoir un petit aperçu ici http://freebsd.bebik.net/wiki/index.php/Flyers_FreeBSD_en_fran%C3%A7ais * Je suis, selon mes dispo, pret à fournir quelques jour de présence(2 p.ex) à toi de me dire ce qui serait le mieux en fonction du déroulement du salon. Je reposterai ce soir une copie de ce mail dans la liste. Cordialement, - Rodrigo OSORIO
