Hi Pierre and all,

Looks like this fell dormant for a while so I want to bump the
topic. ;-)

I was talking to Kevin Fenzi and although he hasn't had a chance to
exhaustively search all spaces in Denver, so far he hasn't found any
great alternatives.  I found some coworking spaces but they were
limited availability and/or quite expensive ($120/day and up).  That's
expensive enough that it makes more sense to do the FAD in RDU:

* free space available at Red Hat Tower
* hotel close to the site with Red Hat's courtesy rate
* lots of food and nightlife in walking distance of both

Also lots of Fedora friends are in the area as well, and we might be
able to pick up a few extra contributors during the event.

Would anyone be *uncomfortable* forging ahead with doing this FAD in
RDU?
