[fedora-india] Contribution and Collaboration from FAD Pune 2010 participants

[Rahul Sundaram]

Hi,

As you might already know,  Fedora Activity Day is a event for face to
face collaboration for *existing*  Fedora contributors.  Some of you who
are not already a contributor have applied and received sponsorship on
the basis that your participation in Fedora will increase as a result of
you attending the event.   If you are planning to get some packaging
work done or contribute to Fedora Tour, there is no need to wait till
the event before you start working on it.  Consider it as a requirement
that you do get some work done *before* the event.

If you are looking to get started on packaging, take a look at

If you want to work on Fedora Tour,  Ankur Sinha has already sent out a
invitation for doing so.  Feel free to join the effort.  If you have
questions, feel free to ask.   I will heartily recommend that
sponsorship be cancelled for those who don't show some interest (for
example by having a review request filed) .  Also expand on the agenda
with more details on what you want to do.   Instead of "Will do foo", 
it should be "I will do X and Y on Foo".  If you are going to help by
packaging,  name the specific list of software you want to package.   In
short, the event is not a party or even a conference but a venue to get
some Fedora work done.
