As I was doing online housekeeping chores today, like revising my Linkedin account, I realized that it's been exactly one year since I began blogging.

The main reason I began writing a blog was to help publicize some of the great things going on in the world of free and open software, especially in the Fedora Project. I actually joined the Fedora Project 6 months earlier, but it took me a while to see the value of keeping a web log. Now I wonder why it took me so long.

I've made some great friends while volunteering with the Fedora Docs Project, and more recently, with the Fedora Ambassadors. My blog chronicles some of the interesting events of the last year. To list them here would be redundant, but I will mention just one.

One of the high points for me of the last 365 days was the time in September when I helped organize and take part in GITEX 2007 in Dubai. It was challenging and fun demonstrating Fedora 7 and the OLPC laptop to the crowds. Red Hat did a great job representing FOSS at one of the world's largest commercial exhibitions. It was a privilege to share the booth with them and I'm glad to have Red Hat as Fedora's corporate sponsor.

I could list many more, but if you want to find out more, you'll have to read my blog.
