It seems social interactions naturally drive people into choosing the
narrowest possible audience when presented with multiple
possibilities.  *Especially* for controversial or strategic proposals;
those where consensus isn't immediately clear.

When Red Hat was trying to push all their internal development traffic
out to the Fedora community, dwmw2 used to reply: "I will not answer
this message until it's posted on a public list".

Yeah, let's encourage an attitude of violence!!! :-)

Let's get started from a wiki page we could edit jointly, maybe?  The
FUDcon is a self-organizing event, so they have no defined schedule
until the day of the conference.

Se for now we might just want to come up with a list of proposed talks
and speakers for now?

One important note: unscheduled and unplanned discussions should not
be allowed to push back or even cancel the following talks.  This was
a mistake I made due to inexperience. No matter how important they
are, such discussions are better held during unscheduled free time.
