Etherpad FAD Update -- Need your input

The action Email:

I need your help!

== People ==
No Mel (  =[  ) will miss here.

We need some "heavy hitters" in Java build systems, packaging... most
anything listed

How do I/we get these people?
 (A: I'm going to email alumni, but thats no the only solution)

Pick off people individually?

Certain mailing lists I should go for?


I'm partially concerned because of:

== Cost Concerns ==
For the FAD, I'm planning on an outing to Masala Art. I've budgeted it in,
but at $14/person its a bit hefty. For attendees who have real
Java/Scala/build system/packaging chops, getting them a delicous brunch at
Masala Art is the least we can do for them. Buuut, for the random Oliner who
stops by and listens to a talk, I don't think paying for Masala Art Brunch
is a good use of Fedora/Red Hat funds.

Thoughts?

So, I would like to get knowledgeable "heavy hitters" as "registered
attendees." I'm actually a little concerned sending out registration invites
to Oliners ATM because I don't want people to come just for the $14 brunch.

Actually I'm concerned for the same reason with Fedora mailing lists. Buuut
I don't expect area locals to bother driving to Needham just for $14 brunch,
so probably less of a concern.

Again, thoughts?
Is this honest?
Should I remove brunch from the wiki?
Should I mark brunch as a "for serious devs only"? (this certainly seems
unfair).
