[Ambassadors] F23 media production (in EMEA)

[Zoltan Hoppar]

I have forgot to mention that we have already artwork to stop the
visitors - and it's accessible by the Fedora Marketing collateral.
Just look for the bottom of the page, for the "liveusb creator
station" that we used it before.

I have one more idea, maybe not-so-bad idea.... I dunno. How about to
order blank (without data), but writeable factory printed disks? So
until our burner finishing, we can help out either with our drives if
the ambassador has dvd writer implemented. Also we can use them as
on-demand, so there gonna be no waste, only if the visitor, or user
needs it. Of course there are some worries inside me - if the disk
gets corrupted, or the writer mess up the write sequence....hell,
doubles the time and... ehh.

Also thinking about the multiple usb ports - if we don't have enough
sd card space to hold all images, would be possible to merge into a
single drive to use it as source, RAID right? So, if the ambassador
had no time to collect all the images/SD card is broken, a pendrive (
or a set) also can be handy, lifesaver - as backup.

+1 optional use case: portable personal owncloud, local update server,
sharepoint whatnot for team-meeting or party with this hw setup.
Running cloud cooperational apps, node js based ones... well can be
profitable, if our "burnerbox" usage doesn't play, or offline/online
teamwork is necessary.

+1 alternative use case: if we are able to make this, I think would be
a nice option - to get media shared around the world - to ask the
council to send overseas just a single 16 or 32 gigs sd cards to old
timer active ambassadors who can use these images to run install
parties, or updates locally. With that we can spare the local bandwith
if our machine is been made, or sponsored for regional ambassadors...
after this we need only limited amount disks, for the freemedia
helpout, IMHO.
