Fedora Activity Day at SCaLE!

[Scott Williams]

We're bringing back Fedora Activity Day at SCaLE!  My opinion is we have
two routes we can go:

Traditionally, we expect a low technical curve.  This means that a
documentation project would be ideal.  I'd like this to be something we can
actually use and publish by the end of the day.  I can setup a github
repository for the collaboration point if we end up using something like
Publican, otherwise this will likely be a wiki ordeal.  For reference, in
the past we tackled Google Summer of Code:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Summer_of_Code

The other option is we could allow for some technical chops and build
something for the Ambassadors.  One such idea would be to hack out a PHP+JS
web application for events as a kiosk for people who are interested in
becoming an ambassador (given the low attention span at an event, this may
be better than telling them to google our wiki) or would like someone from
our group to present at their college.  As a bonus pony, we could build
webcam integration so we can match a name to a face afterward.  Hopefully
there might be enough content and testing work for those who aren't web
coders.

I'd like to push for the latter scenario, but would like to hear the
thoughts from the group.  Please let me know by end of week, so I can get
it published with the SCaLE group.

I prefer the latter, but that's because I think the goal of a FAD is to
accomplish something directly beneficial to the Fedora Project. Building an
interface that could help us better interact with the community could be
fun and useful at more and more conferences. I'm not so adept at php/js but
I can help build the backend pieces and would actually prefer to do
something in Python+JS. However, even at that, I'd be interested in hooking
up webcams to systems and ensuring they work for whatever kind of interface
we build.

Cheers,

herlo

If enough would rather do mod_python, I'm totally fine with that as well.
That way we could utilize https://github.com/lmacken/photobooth.py for a
backend.  If we agree on the concept, we can handle the technical details
along the way.  If no one has any dissent, let's plan on this.

No, mod_wsgi, lol. mod_python is ancient. :)

We can discuss all of it there. And yes, that's the software I was thinking
of utilizing! :D

Cheers,

Clint

Great!  Let's go ahead with this.
