Wow, that's a really great idea. We do need to keep in mind there's a LOT
of variance in the following:
* Information that people provide via FAS
* What information a specific scanning device or software will process
To keep things simple, less error-prone, and hopefully as useful as
possible, I would propose we use something like the following, encoded in
the QR Code:
{{{
BEGIN:VCARD
N:John Q. Public
URL:http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:jqpublic
EMAIL:jqpublic@fedoraproject.org
END:VCARD
}}}
That's plenty to allow someone to be able to get in touch with you from
their conference contacts. I just tried this as a test with my Android
phone, using the barcode scanner app I already have, and it works
amazingly well. I'm sure there are many other apps that work just as
well.
We'll investigate whether we can either (1) work with Ian Weller, design
flavored geek to the stars, :-) to create a template to generate PDFs for
this using the 'qrencode' utility that's in Fedora already, or (2) try to
incorporate this into a ODT of some sort.
