The quick answer to "why is Red Hat contacting me?"

a. To introduce myself.
b. To learn more about your organization.
c. To offer you a whole bunch of schwag.
d. To discuss potential programs of longer-term
engagement.
e. To invite you to join a Red Hat LUG forum.
f. To ask a favor. :)

The longer details:

a. Me. I'm Greg DeKoenigsberg, the community
relations manager for Red
Hat. Some of my jobs: increase the visibility of
Fedora in the
 community; to encourage interested folks to
contribute their energies
 to Fedora or other FOSS projects; advocate open
source development
 methodologies in CS/MIS curriculae; speak at
community events that I
 can manage to get to; help build our relationship
with LUGs; chair the
 Fedora Extras committee; host the TriLUG meetings
here in Raleigh;
 send schwag to the faithful; organize FUDCon events;
and so on and so
 forth. I keep busy, heh.

b. Your organization. I presume that your org covers
the standard LUG
bases: installfests, demos, etc. Are there any other
ongoing programs
that you're particularly proud of? Anything in
particular to brag
 about that should serve as a model to other LUGs?
Any initiatives
 that would really rock, if only you could get a
little bit of
 well-placed help?

c. Schwag. As it happens, we've got a big overstock
of Fedora stuff,
 and I'm looking to send some of it to an appreciative
audience. Have
 any upcoming events that could benefit from some
Fedora
 hats/shirts/DVDs? And if so, got an address?
