The things that are actionable here are:
(1) Figure out if DimDim is in a state where we could successfully use
it to try out a Fedora-like virtual event.
(2) Depending on the answer, do one or more of the following:
* Put together an event in DimDim, just because it would be interesting.
Anyone care to volunteer to look into this?
* Work on making DimDim better upstream.
* Put together a virtual event on IRC. We already know that Fedora
Classroom is a successful virtual education model. We did an online
FUDCon a few years ago, and I think we've learned a lot since then that
would make for a good event, especially if it was one day with a strong
focus, etc.
