Chitesh, Thank you very much for your request. If you wish to represent Fedora to Europeans and to French people in particular, this can be arranged :)
You can become Fedora Ambassador and we will help you out with materials as far as we can. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing/Ambassadors http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/HowTo http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/CountryList http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/Conduct Please read the HowTo page carefully and be sure you have the time and resources to be an Ambassador. If you think you are up for it, please send me an email off-list and I will get you all set up. Please also pay special attention to who else is already active in your region. You may want to get in touch with them for guidance as you get started.
