My plan was to get some folks from docs and from ambassadors together.
 I suppose there may be benefit for devs to come.  The idea of having
FAD on Friday would mean that while it could be linked up with the
conference, it wouldn't interfere with the main conference sessions.

The thought I had was to hack together some functionality in Moksha
that could help ambassadors to track the activities going on within
(and without) Fedora.  Give us a portal (if you will) with a simiple
way to add events, manage them and track resources.

For Docs, it's an ongoing thing and since there are a few docs persons
in California that might be able to come that couldn't make FUDCon, I
think that'd be invaluable for them to meet others in the Docs team.
It's also valuable to have some fun, so I think a nice dinner with the
contributors would help congeal the group.

I'm sure there's more here to think about and possibly do.  But I
think a FAD still needs a core goal (as was pointed out).  We could
reasonably get others to participate if we advertised now.

Cheers,
