Re: foss.in CfP and related things
as give aways during the Project Day - any thoughts ?
Looking at the proposal (http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FOSSin), agenda
#3 looks like the low hanging fruits which can be used as baits to
entice new Fedora contributors. I think it would be a good idea to
have most of these fruits (if not all) as workshops so that the
interest generated during the talks can be magnified by some hands-on
experience.
In this regard, can we have workshops on:
* Bug triaging -- I have seen multiple posts on
fedora-devel(a)redhat.com where senior developers (eg., Matej, Ajax)
have been complaining about the lack of help in this regard. Packages
like Nautilus, Evolution, X.org, Gecko, OpenOffice.org immediately
come to mind.
* Documentation -- Would be nice to get a bunch of merry hackers to
write up some good documentation during the course of the day. I hear
the folks writing the release notes are often overburdened.
Would the inclusion of new workshops require removal of some of the
existing ones? If yes, then which ones?
