Technically, a FAD *is* shortlived. It is a brief event spanning just
a few days to focus on a specific topic. Hopefully the topic or work
is longer lived than the actual event :).

I don't disagree with the sentiment, but I'm not sure adding random
letters to the acronym make it any clearer. I mean, FPAD could be
Perl or Python or Planning or etc. Perhaps if we renamed them Fedora
Activity Events or Fedora Sprints?
