Ideas / Brainstorming
For this audience, we'll want to cover:
Fedora Workstation on sysadmin desktops and laptops. (Many people will, however, run a corporate standard build; either RHEL-based or a proprietary OS, due to company policies.)
Fedora Server — talk about how it can fit in with RHEL and CentOS as part of the whole ecosystem. Possibly a atomic / docker demo. Fedora Atomic — I bet containers and container tech will be a big topic
