How to file bug reports and perhaps a small introduction into how to
test the Fedora desktop would be appropriate. It can be done by anyone
who reads up the relevant wiki pages.

Check if you can have a LiveUSB station and get participants to bring
in their own USB sticks and thus get a LiveUSB of Fedora 10.

A large part of the above paragraph is based on 'maybe' and
assumptions. Please do ensure that you have things nailed down
*before* the event and, you *know* whom or what to expect.

Quick note : producing 100 units of DVDs take a bit of time, next time
around it would be a good idea to estimate how best to tackle such a
situation.
