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.
