I just posted this comment:
In general this sounds like a positive idea.
My one concern from the perspective of a host/organizer is that by picking a firm date based on the timing of another event, it may really limit the ability of a place like BU to be able to continue hosting FUDCon. If there is no flexibility in the dates, there will be a possibility that we might not be able to host it at all if there happens to be some scheduling conflict on our end. A bit of flexibility always helps with that. That said, we managed to do it in conjunction with LinuxWorld for two years, though the 2005 FUDCon suffered a bit as a result of that constraint.
Regarding the comment about Brazil and the rest of the world, I assume that this proposal does not exclude the possibility of other FUDCon events. It's just an attempt to formally plan for a couple big ones each year.

That's a good point.
Greg: How connected to the Red Hat Summit are the FUDCons? Is the Summit providing space and etc.?
There was some niceness about the independent working, and BU has been an awesome partner/contributor in this. But getting a chance to make FUDCon a bigger and better thing is worth it. Imagine if $someone were doing all the logistics and all we have to do is fill the whiteboard on the day of the talks? :)
