Add optional fields that help justify dotastronomy conferences to funders

[barentsen]

We should think about adding optional metadata fields that help justify #dotastro to funders.

Such fields may include:

• list of new skills learned by participant
• impact on the participant's day-to-day research
• list of technologies used
• student testimonials

Any other ideas?

I agree, we could have an 'impact' field that has a paragraph summary of how the hack evolved in future and had an impact? (can be updated over time)

Just a thought: if there are separate fields for skills-learned, research-impact technologies-used, and testimonial, participants will likely provide more details on those aspects than if there were a single impact field.

On the other hand, too many fields may scare and confuse.

@astrofrog Mandatory fields that would have made it easier to generate this: .Astronomy Hacks – Image Gallery include twitter-handle/s as well as the twitter url, dotastro-conference-number and image which can simply be a photo, a screen-capture of a demo hack, or a twitter image.
