Should be a very well attended event, since its dovetailed off of the
Red Hat Summit, which means Red Hat will have not only the bulk of folks
in the Westford, MA engineering office there, but also a fair number
from out of town. I'll definitely be there for all three days of FUDCon,
likely even proposing a talk or two for the barcamp part... :)

Nb: one day is barcamp-style conference, the other two days are
hackfest-style, where we cram several different bunches of like-minded
hackers together to work on specific problems collaboratively. Might
also be some specific presentations mixed in on the hackfest days.
