While fedora-centric style of research continues with its own importance, ideas & opinions were expressed on community-style research where the research benefits not only the fedora users but also those developing open-spurce projects in general. An open-source market research repository might also be started to help foster the whole community of OSS.
"As you probably know, I've been hanging around Fedora for a few years now.  I helped improve the events that Fedora attends by creating the Fedora EventBox.  It's been going really well, but this week, I saw a big improvement because of just a few people at SxSW. I would like to thank Mo, Emily, Spot, Jared and anyone else who helped make the booththere awesome!


=== Fedora print magazine proposed ===
. . .


Linux Pro Magazine has proposed printing a special Fedora issue around the launch of F12. <ref>https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_print_magazine_proposal</ref> We are trying to explore whether this might be a possibility, and if so, whether it's something that we as a community want to pursue. <ref>https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_print_magazine</ref> Conversations on various team mailing lists are ongoing - please join the conversation for the topics you are interested in! <ref>https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_print_magazine#History</ref>
But there's more we can do with this, and that's where I think the value lies.  For one, it is cool that each participant get's a nice little card printed right there with a QR code so they can go retrieve it.  But it would also be nice to let them share their photos on social networking sites like Facebook, identi.ca, foursquare, twitter, etc.  I can also see gaining contributors from this concept, in that they are now 'part' of Fedora's legacy.   Maybe having them show up on the FedoraProject front page when an event is happening?  I seriously think that this is stuff that everyone in Fedora would love."

SxSW photobooth awesomeness and its future

Clint Savage discussed[1] strategies for making the "SxSW photobooth awesomeness and its future" more universal to FAmNA events.

It's been going really well, but this week, I saw a big improvement because of just a few people at SxSW.
