Is the goal for this event to have a chance for existing Fedora
Contributors to get work done together (mini-Flock/FAD), or is it about
promoting Fedora to new users/potential contributors (ubucon)? While it's
possible to do both, that almost always backfires, and leaves both groups
dissatisfied, so I would suggest we choose one.

an event would look like. Are we talking a social? talks (about what?)?
etc.
Let's envision success and plan backwards to get there.
Now is the time to start this conversation a we need to start looking for
space ASAP around FOSDEM.
