[Ambassadors] F23 media production (in EMEA)

[Zoltan Hoppar]

IMHO, I think we can greatly simplify this "burning tower". What we
need is an arm computer - strong enough to run an external usb burner,
and a externally powered USB hub, maybe an SD card reader too. If we
attach an tiny touch and LCD either, then I think an RSPI2 would be
enough as heart of this system. From software side I think we have
already base and roots, just need some pimp up to get our
"burnmachine" as simply as a coffeemachine. The app is called
Multiwrite, and its in our repos already.

It would be an nice project for us, and would be an nice portable kit
for events, moreover - the multiple usb can be also an
"hey-pal-charge-your-device-til-we-can-chat-about-fedora" thing on the
booth. I have seen similar by Intel booth. Opinions?
