[Ambassadors] Fedora Activity Day at SCaLE!

[Clint Savage]

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
