This page contains information about the Fedora Project at the Red Hat Summit 2012. You can compare this to the original vision for the event on its own page.
The Red Hat Summit is a conference where Red Hat converses with its customers. A Fedora presence supports the event by demonstrating the importance of community in the Red Hat ecosystem, but also benefits Fedora because Red Hat's customers are sometimes interested in looking at and contributing to Fedora once they find out about us.
The coordinator for the Fedora presence at Summit is Robyn Bergeron. The Summit-planning mailing list is also used to coordinate the logistics of prepping and attending Summit, and those intending to attend or participate in planning are encouraged to sign up to receive mail from this list.

Ideas/Brainstorming
Use this section to brainstorm ideas about things to do at the event.
Photography/Audio/Video Recording Ideas
If we could get a room (for audio quality), graphite6 could bring the following equipment:
- two studio lights with tripods
- two usb yeti microphones (one yeti can record a single person, an interview, or an entire conference table)
- HD digital video camera
- DSLR camera
- tripod for camera
- 9' x 6' backdrop (can be either black or white)
- tablets (can be used as teleprompters)
We could offer attendees the opportunity to record (talking head style):
- brief messages
- biographies
- their stories about how they use Fedora
- how they contribute to Fedora
- how they combine Fedora community benefits, Fedora os, JBoss middleware, Red Hat products
- and/or how these things and the fact they are open source makes them happy, productive, etc
- interviews of Fedora users, developers, Fedora hosted project members, the beefy miracle, etc
- pictures of people with the Beefy Miracle stand up cut out
Basically graphite6 will pimp her equipment out to educate/help Fedora users, developers, and the community.
Question: Would this need to be cleared with Red Hat? Answer (I think): Red Hat has a video release we can use; rsuehle can provide.
Info/Media Ideas
- Literature or goodies about middleware+Fedora and its benefits
- how to get involved with middleware/application development on the Fedora
Booth Talk Subject Ideas
- Lure some of the JBoss middleware developers to the Fedora booth to give little talks about packaging middleware/apps/server stuff * using middleware on Fedora
- developing applications on Fedora
