Here is a proposal for two activities that we should have at every event. In particular, I'd like to see us do it at FOSDEM, FISL, and LinuxTag:
(1) A "join Fedora" station. Somewhere at the booth, there is a computer or laptop with a sign on it that says "come here to join the Fedora Project" or something like that. There is one person whose job is to talk to folks, get them interested in Fedora, and help them to go through the CLA and WikiEditing process. The success metric is simple: * Did the person leave having set up their Fedora Wiki homepage? * Did the person become a Fedora Ambassador? * Does the person have some idea of what they might like to contribute to Fedora? * How many accounts were created at the event?
(2) A "bring us your USB key, and we'll turn it into a Fedora LiveUSB key for you" station. Same idea as above. We have a computer that has several Fedora Spins on it. People bring their USB key, and we run the livecd-iso-to-disk tool and set their USB keys up as Fedora LiveUSB keys. Again, the metric is simple: * How many were created at the event?
Thoughts or comments?
