FUD: An acronym for Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt. A typical tactic used
by the opponents of open source to prevent its widespread adoption.

Con: In opposition or disagreement with; against.

FUDCon is the conference/summit that focuses on the Fedora Project and
all things that go along with it. This includes infrastructure issues,
both technological and govermental/intermutual, development issues,
community issues, marketing issues and the state of the project
address. There is no set time frame with regard to the frequency of
FUDCon.

So far, FUDCon took place twice: in Boston, USA, and in Karlsruhe, Germany.

FUDCon London 2005, the third gathering of Fedora Users and
Developers, will be held at LinuxWorld Conference and Expo UK, on the
6th of October in London, UK.

FUDCon will feature presentations from prominent members of the Fedora
Project, both from Red Hat and from the Fedora community.

Attendance is free to anyone attending LinuxWorld UK.
