I'll be a bit harsh, so, please bear with me.

Let me ask a question here - when someone is introduced to a subject
or topic, the ideal way to assess the impact of the introduction is to
have a 'test' or, 'set of questions'. I am fairly sure that what works
for academia, should work for FOSS/Fedora too. So, have there been
small tasks that were discussed ? For example, now that they have been
introduced to Fedora, jotting down their notes about how they make
things work viz. their network or something ?

How about the ones from the last FAD ? What have they been up to ?

The success of a meeting is not determined from how many folks recall
the order of speakers after a month, but, how many come up to the
speakers to ask how they can be of use.
