Of the of the people listed as going on the FAD page, at least Robin
Lee has these packages:

Having a sponsor on hand does seem like it'd increase success.
I think Tom makes an excellent point. Without at least one sponsor or
at least provenpackager involved, I'm not sure this is going to be a
positive experience for the participants. If people go to this event
and cannot actually get their pet package added to Fedora as a result
of participating, then they're going to be soured on the process.
Now, an obvious follow-up question is whether we think there would be a
sufficient return on investment to send one of the sponsors to this FAD
(and whether to expend time and effort locating someone willing to go).
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/accounts/group/members/packager/*/spons
or is a list of the current sponsors, and of course we could email the sponsors list
looking for volunteers (preferably
locally).
