Hi, Talking to Mel last night reminded me that the team needs to start getting the ball rolling on Marketing FAD. We need to make a few decisions here for the FAD to happen, so that we can even start planning it: Where, who, when. Who: Add yourself to the wiki if you want to attend, either in person or virtually. We currently have 9 in-person and one virtual attendee on the wiki page[1] Knowing the Who will make the Where easier. Where: A few locations seem to make sense to me, feel free to throw out any others... *Red Hat office in either Boston, MA or Raleigh, NC as we have attendees in the area (Mel for Boston, Max and Kara for Raleigh) and we have the benefit of having a Red Hat office, which would probably get us easy conference space. *Las Vegas, NV was thrown out there; cheap hotels, cheap eats, LOTS of touristy things to do, lots of conference space. Of course, with it being Vegas, it may take some work to keep things on FAD topic :) *Phoenix/Tempe, AZ as Robyn's an hour or two's drive from Phoenix, and I'm in Phoenix. We have _AMAZING_ weather in March (afaik, it's still cold and gross in Boston and possibly NC in March, it'll probably be in th 60-70°F range in the Phoenix area.) Tempe is close to at least two universities, one of whom I can get a contact at easily. I'm writing this email sitting in my back yard, in a tee shirt, if that helps explain how awesome the weather is in winter :) *Portland: Portland is open-source friendly, and John Poelstra's centered there. They also have good coffee I hear, which would be a big plus for a Fedora event :) When: Mel suggested a March time frame, which is pretty broad. My high school has spring break from Sat 13 to Sun 21, so any days in those time frames work best for me and (iirc) Robyn, as her children have those days off, too. Some questions: How many days? Do we want a leisure day? What works best for everyone else interested in attending? Of course, these questions are avoiding the large and awesome topic, of "what" we want to do at this event? Mel said we wanted deliverables after the event, what deliverables do we want? Any other goals?
