Andrew Hutton caught me online earlier today and asked if Fedora
would
be interested in hosting a conference of any size, to run concurrent
with the Linux Symposium (previously held in Ottawa) in Montreal 13-17
July 2009). Plenty of space is available for a 2-day concurrent
conference, and he's working on chartered busses from several (nearby)
cities such as Boston, Ottawa, and Toronto to ease getting to
Montreal.
This wouldn't be a Fedora 12 planning FUDCon as we've traditionally
had such, given that mid-July is pretty late for such assuming we get
back to our May 1 / October 31 release schedule. But it could be an
opportunity for Fedora-specific side-tracks to LS, or a hackfest, or
any number of ways to use the time and space. If we had 2 days and
space for 100+ people in Montreal that week,, how could we use it?
I'd like an interested Ambassador to step up and volunteer to run such
an event. Volunteers?
Wow, this is a great opportunity. We have some ambassadors on the
ground in Montreal so let's try to make this happen if we can.
