Rodrigo and I talked a bit about FUDCon LATAM today, and how the upcoming Events FAD might be able to help it out.
For transparency-ness, here are meeting notes/logs - this was entirely spontaneous/unplanned, but when we realized we were talking about things that should be logged, we move to channel and logged it.

This also raises two interesting questions:
(1) Local FUDCons will be planned - and run - in local languages. How can we keep FUDCon planning in sync, given this? How much do we want to worry (at the moment) about translating FUDCons, bringing people from other regions in as guests to a region's FUDCon, etc?
(2) If we have 4 FUDCons a year (1 per region) and it takes 6 months to plan a FUDCon, planning periods are going to overlap. This may make reading mailing lists confusing. How can we handle this? Will we eventually need fudcon-planning-latam, fudcon-planning-emea, fudcon-planning-na, and fudcon-planning-apac?
