How do smaller one-day local events differ from, say, a FAD (Fedora Activity Day)? http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FAD I know you've noted "regions" and I don't tend to think of regions as "local" - maybe I am just not clear on what you're suggesting there. I'll be honest - I'd really like to see more people actively organizing FADs *anyway* - regardless of how FUDCons are organized. But it feels a bit like we've dropped off there. > Today I had 1:1 with our HR how to bring more people to NA FUDCon as a > benefit/motivation :) I like. :) > So I'm +1! > > Jaroslav > >> Cheers, >> Matthias >> _______________________________________________ >> advisory-board mailing list >> advisory-board@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx >> https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/advisory-board _______________________________________________ advisory-board mailing list advisory-board@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/advisory-board
