Is this something the translation team might be interested in?

We've discussed creating "marketing packs" or "FUDCon in a box" that has
the pieces and directions to hosting a local Fedora event.  These can be
very standardized.  They can be created collaboratively via a Wiki, and
we can use DocBook (slides and book) to create the final format,
allowing us to use the translation process as-is.
