Right, I hope that's obvious to everyone involved -- we want to use that
synergy to our advantage, not create a competing event.

+1

The summit typically doesn't leave one with a lot of free time if one
is there for the summit. I'm in the same boat and would love to be
able to attend the barcamp without skipping a day of the summit.

Which brings up another interesting point - the Summit will attract a
crowd (myself included) that is interested in both the Summit and
FUDCon.  Have the logistics/scheduling been worked out with the Summit
folks yet?  The fear that I have is that I'll have to take precious
time away from the sessions at the Summit in order to attend FUDCon?
Maybe we could do the Barcamp style thing that's occurring on Saturday
this FUDCon on Tuesday 6/17 if there's space available?

Just a thought.

Yes, totally we should. Give me a minute here though. :)

This is a great idea, but another place where we really need to be working
more in advance. It's almost too late for the current one. Anyone who needs
to convince their employer to send them, justify expenses, and book a plane
ticket is probably already out of luck.

If we want to have serious events, we need to have all the proverbial ducks
in a row with their Ts dotted and Is crossed (or something like that) at
least two months in advance. Preferably three or more.

Since we already know the basic release schedule that far in advance, this
really shouldn't be impossible.


Well, then, we should announce the summer FUDCon now, since we know it'll 
be in Boston in conjunction with the Red Hat Summit.
