Even though I am on the outside of RH, as far as planning for the last
NA FUDCon stickster and mchua had all their convo in the IRC channel
and everything was logged.  Even budget talk.  And one of the goals of
the Events FAD was in my mind to get everything setup so the community
could take over the planning, with RH thru the FPL or the designee
handling the budget.
