BACKGROUND:

This is the first meetup with the new concept. Previously this group was focused only on Red Hat stuff, but going forward the focus will be on community around Fedora, CentOS and RHEL. This means no direct product marketing, no sales pitches, more technology, more community and more development talks.

The target audience has also been expanded to cover also desktop users and Fedora/CentOS developers.
