 Wow, that's a really great idea.  We do need to keep in mind there's a LOT
 of variance in the following:

 * Information that people provide via FAS
 * What information a specific scanning device or software will process

 To keep things simple, less error-prone, and hopefully as useful as
 possible, I would propose we use something like the following, encoded in
 the QR Code:

 {{{
 BEGIN:VCARD
 N:John Q. Public
 URL:http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:jqpublic
 EMAIL:jqpublic at fedoraproject.org
 END:VCARD
 }}}

 That's plenty to allow someone to be able to get in touch with you from
 their conference contacts. I just tried this as a test with my Android
 phone, using the barcode scanner app I already have, and it works
 amazingly well.  I'm sure there are many other apps that work just as
 well.

 We'll investigate whether we can either (1) work with Ian Weller, design
 flavored geek to the stars, :-) to create a template to generate PDFs for
 this using the 'qrencode' utility that's in Fedora already, or (2) try to
 incorporate this into a ODT of some sort.
