Hello,

Since the FOSDEM organizers aren't against with our FUDCon idea, I
think we should go through.

Frederic could you confirm our FUDCon event to the FOSDEM organizers ?

Fedora contributor and user bases are growing day by day in Europe
like any other region of the world. The Fedora Project being a true
contributor to the FOSS eco-system has attracted lots of european
contributors and users among those several play key roles in the
Fedora Project.

Having a FUDCon at FOSDEM, FOSDEM 2007 will be a crucial meeting place
for European Fedora contributors and other high-graded Fedora members
around the world. Fudcon is not internal withing the Fedora Project.
Anyone can come. A Fudcon subconference will attract additional
visitors to the main event. People will attend a couple of FUDCON
talks and _also_ talks of the main conference. That synergy is the
main point of a FUDCON.


So here is where we are, we will be sharing
- a devroom with Centos guys ( a request for another room hasn't been
replied yet )
- own stand (1x 2m width table in the hall) with Red Hat/JBoss

Next step, we should know the man/woman of contact:
- from Centos : (for the devroom sharing)
    Then we can schedule our FUDCon timetable accordingly.
- from RedHat/JBoss : (booth sharing)
    We should know whether Fedora and RedHat will have both enough
(equal) space and whether Fedora can have other resources from them.

Frederic or anyone, do you have a name for those persons ?

regards,
Chitlesh
