What events should NA Ambassadors target in 2013?

[Sarah White]

*At tonight's FAmNA meeting[1] the NA Ambassadors will be discussing next
year's event schedule and the possibility of expanding outreach activities
to conferences/events where the audience may not be familiar with Fedora's
capabilities in their area of interest.

Are there conferences or events in any of following categories that you
think Fedora should consider attending, sending swag to, sponsoring,
holding activities at, just keeping on our radar, etc.?

DIY, Makers, Robotics
ARM, alternative devices, multitouch surfaces
DevOps
SysAdmins
Cloud
UX, UI
Developer platforms (Python, Ruby, JVM, Clojure, Web, etc)
Example: JavaOne http://www.oracle.com/javaone/index.html
Data and Data Distribution
Virtualization
Methodologies (Agile, TDD)
Example: Agile2013 http://agile2013.agilealliance.org/
Community Organization, Processes, and Management
Government
Enterprise
Education
Documentation
Example: Open Help Conf http://openhelpconference.com/
Project Management
Security
Game Development, Culture
Other

During 2012, NA Events included regional LinuxFests (SELF, SCALE), open
source conferences (Oscon), and a few subject-specific events such as
PuppetConf and the World Maker Faire. To see all of the conferences NA
Fedora Ambassadors attended this year, review

At last week's FAmNA meeting, the following events and/or event ideas were
suggested:

1. Fedora at ComicCons

   - kk4ewt has been doing Fedora demos at a couple of Sci-fi cons

2. Would fedora be popular at hamfests?

   - Get a booth at Dayton Hamvention? [1]

3. Fedora at FreedomFest [2]

   - FreedomFest would also not be a booth event, more selling/promoting
   open source/fedora in a community that appreciates our values and work
   already

4. Fedora at Velocity [3]

5. Fedora at DevOpsDays [4]

6. Fedora at Ignite [5]
Opinions? Additional recommendations?

Cheers,

Sarah
