Revisiting FADNA (was: Re: [Ambassadors] FAmNA Meeting Summary from 2008-12-17)

An observation while cursing the bad timing of my final exams (and not being
able to address this issue last night):

Until last night, I don't believe Linuxfest Northwest in April was brought
up as an option for FADNA. Until now, my impression, wrongly it appears, was
that we were locked into either SCaLE or SELF, the latter of which was
deemed to be too close to FUDcon.

If LFNW is an option, we should look at it closely, not only because of the
time factor involved -- both in organizational terms as well as financial
terms (this falls in Q1, right?) -- but also in the fact that this is an
historical year for LFNW, it's 10th anniversary.

I'll retain ownership of this, needless to say, but I think it might be best
to take a closer look at LFNW rather than rush to make SCaLE. I'll do the
legwork on both and report back during the course of the week and have
something for Tuesday's meeting. But those are my thoughts after reading the
minutes and, naturally, I welcome input on the issue. Lots.
