(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?
Most of them need active mentoring beyond a event, maybe we must give them concrete tasks to find a way to contribute. In the past we have some examples of Ambassadors in Germany who never realised what it mean to contribute and abuse trust and make harm to project and other Ambassadors - see FAD2007 and 2006 in Rheinfelden.
Over all - a good idea and a good thing to raise quantity. We should try this!
