In 2012 not a lot of people where interested in FLOSS and GNU/Linux in the relatively small city of Tirana, the capital of Albania. Even less people where interested in Fedora. During my talk I will share the story of how we, a small but dedicated group of people, jump started the community in a small country like Albania and what other small cities and countries should avoid during their first steps in developing a Fedora community in similar conditions. Most important I will share tips and tricks on how to keep the Fedora spirit alive for a long time after the first enthusiastic steps, with the goal that my shared experience will help other communities to make the first steps or grow even further.
