We'll certainly set aside budget for this event from our "Premier
Fedora Events" bucket, and given the nature of the event, most of
that budget will probably be spent on travel/lodging sponsorships.
I'm pretty sure that Henrik was joking with his suggestion of
Hawaii. :)
I think the best way to start thinking about a location is to first
build up an idea of who *wants* to attend, and then figure out a few
different date options for the event, and see which one is best.
Given what we've done at FUDCon, we know that it's possible for
remotees to participate fairly extensively in the event as well,
with gobby, streaming, or Fedora Talk.
It looks like we're already starting to build up a roster on the
wiki page. Right now it's only 4, though. When the wiki comes back
up, I'll add myself.
I was thinking about adding myself but was worried about swelling the
ranks and budget. If I came I'd keep my FPL hat on for purposes of
doing "Great Karnac" impressions, but would mostly be there in the
same "Get Stuff Done" mode as everyone else.
