     Discussion of which groups to engage at SCaLE and LFNW FADs, package
     review was applauded by all as an excellent candidate.

* Montreal Linux Symposium

   - djf_jeff, an ambassador from Quebec, stopped by to discuss what Fedora
     can do at the Linux Symposium. Further investigation and discussion will
     follow to try to get a good Fedora presence at this event.

* FUDconF11

   - ianweller points all to "What you missed at FUDConF11" from ianweller.org

* FAmNA Meeting Schedule Revisited

   - Much discussion here, not much agreement on details. Here is what I
     think we did agree to do for now.

     (1) Finish out Q4 by meeting at the same time but on the 1st and 3rd
         Tuesday for the rest of January and February.

     (2) Continue getting feedback on f-a-l about alternative times when
         people who want to attend meetings and can't now could.

     (3) During Q1 we will try meeting at alternative times as a test
         drive to see how well they work if something reasonable for a
         time is proposed to us on f-a-l.

     developer program (the way developers get XOs) and that we use that as
     a tool to rapidly increase OLPC contributor numbers.

   - jds2001 mentioned that he *might* be doing a presentation next
