Hi Dennia and all other,
I organised together with Max (who was the "event-owner" FUDCON EMEA
2007 beside Linuxtag. I can imagine how much work must be done. As
Fabian mentioned, there are some reasons which could make it happen OR
even not. At least we need yout opinion to step in very fast. Red Hat
organised still Hotel for a bunch of persons, organised a location, the
employees (in EMEA) know when and where it happen ...
So the benefit, from having them ALSO at FUDCon could be awsome (not
only while some Red Hat Sales guys think, we're the "Fan Club of Red
Hat") ..
So we also want to have max's and jared's statement about that idea and
maybe Jan Wildeboeur could make his more or less promise happen that he
will get the goal that the Red Hat CEO will give a talk in the
Community. 

He will get the floor!

All the best

Gerold
