The list of people we need to mail are the active contributors and that
changes every year.  FOSS.In speakers on the Fedora Project day from the
last few years are a good starting point.

Yep.  Send a mail to announcement mailing list.  Update the event page
in the Fedora wiki,  Blog about it so that it reaches Planet Fedora and
so on.  Got to cast a wide net.  If we don't get enough participants
after that point, that's fine and we can do something else.
