No Mel ( =[ ) will miss here.
We need some "heavy hitters" in Java build systems, packaging... most anything listed
How do I/we get these people?
(A: I'm going to email alumni, but thats no the only solution)
Pick off people individually?
Certain mailing lists I should go for?
I'm partially concerned because of:
== Cost Concerns ==
For the FAD, I'm planning on an outing to Masala Art. I've budgeted it
in, but at $14/person its a bit hefty. For attendees who have real
Java/Scala/build system/packaging chops, getting them a delicous brunch
at Masala Art is the least we can do for them. Buuut, for the random
Oliner who stops by and listens to a talk, I don't think paying for
Masala Art Brunch is a good use of Fedora/Red Hat funds.
Thoughts?
So, I would like to get knowledgeable "heavy hitters" as "registered
attendees." I'm actually a little concerned sending out registration
invites to Oliners ATM because I don't want people to come just for the
$14 brunch.
Actually I'm concerned for the same reason with Fedora mailing lists.
Buuut I don't expect area locals to bother driving to Needham just for
$14 brunch, so probably less of a concern.
Again, thoughts?
Is this honest?
Should I remove brunch from the wiki?
Should I mark brunch as a "for serious devs only"? (this certainly seems unfair).

Eff, just found out that all my previous messages to logistics bounced (no-member) and they've been filtering away.
