There's a funny story about me and the fountain on campus in college..... but i digress I'm not sure the sequential numbering makes the most sense. If Fudcon's start happening in rather diverse places around the year... even if its just 4 of them a year which could happen.. its going to get confusing. Especially if fudcons are sort of repeating events for a geographical region. You will probably find that it makes sense to make each event lean in focus towards areas of interest for subprojects in the Fedora umbrella where local leadership is present to guide discussion. Does it make sense to have a focus on "desktop" for each geographical area.. can you get a desktop project "leader" to each one of them? I think the best approach long term is to identify Fudcons by geographical regions and by a year and season (or month). Over time.. most likely.. a fudcon for a geographical region will act as workshop meeting for specific areas. Sure the intitial fudcons in a region are more overview affairs because they are 'new' but overtime i think you want to diversify the content to specialized areas where you can consistently have a leader present to guide. So for a long lived location.. you basically know who is going to attend..so you know what the area of expertise is... but.. you dont put the area of expertise in the name..to allow the area to drift over time somewhat based on who is available locally. So for naming examples: Fudcon Northeast Spring, 2005 Fudcon Westcoast Fall, 2005 Fudcon EU Summer, 2005 Fudcon Southeast Asia Winter, 2007 Fudcon Carnival Cruises Fall, 2009 -jef
