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?
Thanks, Matt

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.

I am still relatively new as a Fedora Ambassador. I am from Nigeria and will like to attend meetings outside my country. This will make me more versatile with the fedora softwares. is there anything like sponsorships to attend meetings?

Can anyone volunteer to coordinate Fedora's involvement in this event? Andrew would like to know if Fedora is interested and start planning space needs.
Thanks, Matt

I am _not_ volunteering to co-ordinate as I have little experience in organising such events. I am also two hours drive away from Montreal (in Sherbrooke), but I can provide basic gruntwork on the relevant days if someone else needs assistance.
