Yes, after this discussion, that seems like a clearer solution. For myself, I have to decide about pursuing this as a pure stand-alone, which presents a whole new world of challenges. For this group, the questions now up in the air: * Blacksburg has rooms to set aside in advance, if we want to plan a cloud track or cloud day for FUDCon. Do you want to? * A cloud day could be in advance of FUDCon by a day? * Would you prefer a semi-planned cloud track? * Would you prefer to just let things arise naturally out of the BarCamp format? - Karsten -- name: Karsten 'quaid' Wade, Sr. Community Gardener team: Red Hat Community Architecture & Leadership uri: http://communityleadershipteam.org http://TheOpenSourceWay.org gpg: AD0E0C41
