I talked to Mike about this very topic at FUDCon and assured him that
we'd support such a FAD whenever someone is interested in planning
it.  This is exactly the kind of thinking that makes sense for FAD --
getting together people within a day's drive to work on the tasks in
which they're regularly participating -- or in which they want to
involve or interest other nearby community members.  Huzzah!
