[Fedora-ambassadors-list] FUDCon San Francisco 2006?

[Jack Aboutboul]

Karsten and All,

While I love the idea, I seriously think we should hold off on this for
now.  Aside from the fact that we have no venue, we have very little
time to plan anything at this point.  Also there is another reason we
might not want to have an SF FUDCon right now, I will talk to Karsten
about this off list.
