Few points:

For the people who are attending PyCon, it will not possible to get
out and attend another
event during PyCon, this will simply mean missing PyCon. We also can
not have a full/half
day event during PyCon (in the venue) as that will be conflicting with
PyCon. Just like
all other conferences, it will be better to meet and discuss in the
Open Space in PyCon
and make sure that we have a visible Fedora presence.

On FAD(s):

It is nice to see that we are having more targeted meetings related to
specific parts of Fedora,
but it is better to call them as regular Fedora meetings with a
specific goal than a FAD[1]. I know
calling them FAD will increase the count of events, but the current
events should be named in
a different way is my opinion. For example: X test day).

Also to remember that FAD budget approval has to come from Fedora
project leader directly.
