Great!  Please do keep us posted on it.  As someone that has worked on
the event box portion and a fair amount of time with the Fedora Store
SIG I have interests in what exactly is being discussed.

The kit for different sized events... Is that an event box that is
pretty much a booth in a box or is it "swag" as well?

With what is being discussed currently, does that mean we should be
putting any Event Box work and/or Fedora SIG work on hold as well?
The Fedora Store SIG has an Ambassador event material portion as well.
 I would hate to put more effort towards the Store SIG or Event Box if
this is duplicating efforts going on within Red Hat.

Thanks,
Jeffrey
