[fedora-india] Proposal: Fedora Activity Day (FAD) on May 2010

[Hiemanshu Sharma]

@Ankur

If everyone agrees we can probably delay it by another week after your exams
are done.

@Rahul

Great idea, but according to me a 2 day period can be too small. Most of the
time will be spent only getting people used to the topics or what we want to
do etc. For eg, I spent a day only getting used to the dorrie code during
FOSS.in, and another couple of days to actually get something done.
