An observation while cursing the bad timing of my final exams (and not being able to address this issue last night):

FADNA
Larry Cafiero sent mail to f-a-l indicating willingness to take ownership of hosting FADNA at SCaLE in February.
Discussion about several possible alternate sites and timing.
Agreed to let Larry run with this, need to discuss it in more detail during the coming week and sign off officially at next week's meeting if all goes well.
Not likely to be very much in our Q4 budget for this so we need to try to proceed prudently.
Q4 Budget [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/NA/Budget]
Until last night, I don't believe Linuxfest Northwest in April was brought up as an option for FADNA. Until now, my impression, wrongly it appears, was that we were locked into either SCaLE or SELF, the latter of which was deemed to be too close to FUDcon.
If LFNW is an option, we should look at it closely, not only because of the time factor involved -- both in organizational terms as well as financial terms (this falls in Q1, right?) -- but also in the fact that this is an historical year for LFNW, it's 10th anniversary.
I'll retain ownership of this, needless to say, but I think it might be best to take a closer look at LFNW rather than rush to make SCaLE. I'll do the legwork on both and report back during the course of the week and have something for Tuesday's meeting. But those are my thoughts after reading the minutes and, naturally, I welcome input on the issue. Lots.

I recommend involving Jesse Keating in LinuxFest Northwest planning, regardless of how grand or minor we want to make the event. It's basically in his backyard, and I'm sure he'll want to participate and/or own the event.
I've Cc'd him on this message.

LFNW does have nicer timing. April is a bit farther away from other events ambassadors might like to attend. It also is in Q1 which perhaps would allow more budget to be allocated to it. I would be happy with it as a host for FADNA as well.

It would be rather nice to do this at LFNW. It's a multi-day event in a nice area. One major issue though is it's location in relation to the nearest major airport. SEA is the closest major airport, and that's in Seattle, about an hour and a half south of the event.

LFNW is coming up quick, was there any further thoughts about doing a FADNA at this event?
Yes. Lots. I'm open to suggestions, but I have some thoughts on this that I'd like to discuss with any interested parties, not the least of which is a continuation of what we started at FAD SCaLE. Or something different . . . ?

What does our Fedora contingent at the event look like?
Based on that, what sort of goals make sense for a FAD?

Are there any contributors in the WA area who have never come to an event, but who might be enticed by a FAD with the right kind of hackfest surrounding it?

Actually I think I got confused. At one point there was talk of doing a Fedora Ambassadors Day (which has a acronym collision). Now I think Karsten Wade is chartering a van from Cali and driving up to WA, picking people up along the way to go to LFNW.
I honestly don't know how many people are going to show.
