I really like the idea. Will it be unique for all the committees and
advisory board?

If there is a camera and a microphone they could be used to create
videos. Just a small problem: only fudcon attendees will be able to
make questions/give answers.

 I think FUDCons could be a good platform to start a discussion, at
list for ambassadors, on local/regional issues. I think, in this case,
if NA ambassadors agree it could be interesting to see what could
happen with this system.

>From the other committeess/advisory board, I don't know how it could
impact, since their model seems different from ambassadors project one
(our goals require a regional structure).

BTW, IRC meetings are a great place to have people all together, and
sure Ambassadors will have one ;)

Just another point: is December 27th a doable date? I don't know how
many people will attend it (it's just 2 days after Christmas day).
Maybe a good promotion of this date will help people organizing their
time in order to attend.
