[Ambassadors] Fedora conference co-located with Linux Symposium?

Andrew Hutton caught me online earlier today and asked if Fedora would
be interested in hosting a conference of any size, to run concurrent
with the Linux Symposium (previously held in Ottawa) in Montreal 13-17
July 2009).  Plenty of space is available for a 2-day concurrent
conference, and he's working on chartered busses from several (nearby)
cities such as Boston, Ottawa, and Toronto to ease getting to
Montreal.

This wouldn't be a Fedora 12 planning FUDCon as we've traditionally
had such, given that mid-July is pretty late for such assuming we get
back to our May 1 / October 31 release schedule.  But it could be an
opportunity for Fedora-specific side-tracks to LS, or a hackfest, or
any number of ways to use the time and space.  If we had 2 days and
space for 100+ people in Montreal that week,, how could we use it?

I'd like an interested Ambassador to step up and volunteer to run such
an event.  Volunteers?

Thanks,
Matt
