It has been a couple of years since we had our last FADNA and I think with a lot of new active ambassadors in the region it might be a good time to start planning our next one.
For those who don't know a Fedora Ambassador Day is the original FAD where ambassadors from a region get together for a short time, normally 1-3 days, and work on planning and organization of ongoing and upcoming ambassador business including longer term event and swag planning.
This is a place for us to start working on agenda items for the FAD as well as planning the location and time. Once we have a concrete proposal we can move on to trying to obtain FAD funding.
Please add comments, agenda items for the FAD, suggestions for dates/location, etc. to this ticket.
I would like to propose Orlando FL for the location its easy to get to and lots of flights.
I would like to propose Atlanta GA since it is one of Delta's hubs and therefore would have direct flights for a lot of people.

I'd like to propose the following:
Dates: October 19-22 Location: Stanford University Stanford, CA
There are plenty of hotels in a 5 mile radius of the university and it would be a good place for on topic discussion.
Also we have a few local Fedora Ambassadors that could provide transportation to and from the event/airport(s) (SJC/SFO).
Those October dates conflict with OLPC world wide gathering. 2 of the local Ambassadors are already planning to be repping for Fedora for the Summit. http://olpcsf.org/summit
Replying to [comment:2 nb]:
+1 for Atlanta, at least for the SE/Mid-Atlantic region. Extremely reasonable flights from ~1/2 of the US and a huge number of facilities.
+1 to Atlanta, lots of places
Proposed Agenda Item:
Bring all Three Event Boxes together for inventory and to be sure all 3 boxes have simulair equipment as possible.
Inventory all 3 boxes and make sure Wiki Pages exist for all 3 USA boxes. and organization of all 3 boxes
At the 2012-09-26 FAmNA meeting it was agreed to host FADNA in conjunction with FUDCon Lawrence. FADNA will begin the day before FUDCon and will include some addition sessions during FUDCon proper.
