(Please estimate the costs in USD.) * Air ticket from Belo Horizonte, Brazil to Phoenix (Round-Trip). Cost: ~$1,570.00 from Continental Airlines. * Lodging. * Will a partial subsidy be helpful?

I attended to both FUDCons in LATAM and I will be able to exchange positive and negative experiences with other attendees and organizers. * If your request is for an airfare, please include complete flight information -- either flight numbers, or desired departure and arrival locations, dates, and times. * This can be quite flexible for me.

#66: Request for Invitation Letter to attend FUDcon Tempe -------------------------------+-------------------------------------------- Reporter: aacosta | Owner: jsmith Type: Task | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: FUDCon Tempe 2011 | Keywords: -------------------------------+-------------------------------------------- Hello guys, Getting into the States in the past has not been a problem for me, but experience dictates that a invitation letter improves a lot the chances in obtaining the permit. I've been told also that an original printed and signed letter is better than an electronic one, so -if possible- I'd like to request the second. Best Regards P.S. Full name and postal address Cesar Alejandro Acosta Acosta Calle de los Alamos 9724 Fracc. Los Alamos C.P. 31125 Chihuahua, Chih.

by Paul W. Frields 11 Oct '10

11 Oct '10

For FUDCon Tempe, we need: (1) Someone to either make, or work with the Design team to have made, a design for the shirt (2) Someone to get all the vendor stuff sorted out so someone from Red Hat can call, give credit card info, and the shirts will be made and sent somewhere appropriate for the event. Do I hear any takers? -- Paul W.

Hotel reservations
by Paul W. Frields 01 Oct '10

01 Oct '10

Hi FUDCon Tempe travelers from outside North America, Please make sure you have done both of the following to secure your lodging for the FUDCon event. (1) Locate a roommate for FUDCon Tempe who's on our subsidy list. The list of subsidies is here: http://tinyurl.com/fudcon-tempe-subods All the subsidized people have a "Y" in the granted category. Make sure both you and your roommate note your choice in the "Room sharing" column on the wiki pre-registration table: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon:Tempe_2011#Pre-registration (2) Either you or your roommate needs to make a hotel reservation. We want to make sure our hotel block obligations are made. Some of you may have done this already. The links you need are here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon:Tempe_2011#Lodging If you need to extend your dates beyond three nights (and many of you do), try setting the dates in your reservation using the links provided. If that does not work, please let me know, or you can call the hotel to have them make the changes for you. Please don't delay! Our rates are only guaranteed until NOVEMBER 5 (2010-11-05). Thanks and I look forward to seeing all of you in Tempe next year! (Also, I realize a couple of you may be awaiting final resolution of your airfare. Don't worry, we'll make it happen! Go ahead and get your hotel taken care of, as shown above.) cc: fudcon-planning list -- Paul W.

Continuing role in FUDCon
by Paul W. Frields 30 Sep '10

30 Sep '10

Hi FUDCon Tempe folks, I wanted to point you to a post I made yesterday regarding the kinds of things I'm working on these days: http://paul.frields.org/?p=3416 I wanted to drop a short note to the list as promised to talka bit about my FUDCon involvement over the next several months, especially as it pertains to FUDCon Tempe. Our "street team" including Robyn, Ryan, Steven, and Clint have done a fantastic job helping keep our preparation timely and effective. I'm really happy the Trac has helped us all keep tuned in to what's going on and what remains to be done. My plan is to continue assisting with FUDCon Tempe up through the actual event, including follow-up work like making sure bills are accounted for an paid. Following the release of Fedora 14 I may be asking Jared to help chair more of the meetings and help manage the Trac queue. I am trying to concentrate my efforts on critical-path tasks for FUDCon, including where a Red Hat credit card is required. :-) For other tasks, such as securing outside sponsorships, I'm encouraging planning group to: * Push initiatives forward they think are important for the event * Keep the group informed through this list and the Trac * Collaborate using our community tools like the wiki wherever possible * Not block on me personally unless they need something paid or (for whatever reason) some official blessing For upcoming FUDCon events in other geos, like the upcoming FUDCon LATAM, I'll make sure Jared and other appropriate stakeholders such as the Red Hat Community Architecture team (which provides the lion's share of funding) are set up with some sort of general schedule to keep those events moving forward. To make those events successful their organizing teams need to be committed to transparent communication -- much like the Tempe event. I know they'll step up to the plate and do a fantastic job! -- Paul W.

FUDCon LATAM 2011 bids
by Paul W. Frields 30 Sep '10

30 Sep '10

The bid period for the next Fedora Users and Developers Conference (FUDCon) in the LATAM region is open, and will remain open for a few more weeks. The bid process for FUDCon is outlined here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon_bid_process Two bids have already been received for FUDCon at this point, and the process will continue soon with an award, a budget, and an open and transparent planning process: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon:LATAM_2011_Bid_Panama http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon:LATAM_2011_Bid_Foz Bids will continue to be accepted until *September 30, 2010*. Bids must be published on the Fedora wiki, and a URL for the bid sent to the fudcon-planning list: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/fudcon-planning The majority budget holder, the Community Architecture team, will consult with the bid teams and regional Ambassador leadership, work with the Fedora Project Leader to decide on a location and date, and make an announcement of the next LATAM region FUDCon soon afterward. Decisions for a FUDCon location are made on the basis of many factors, including costs, quality and quantity of bid information provided, facilities available, bid team commitment, and the desire to move FUDCon around a given region where practical. Once the venue and dates are decided, planning for the LATAM region FUDCon event is expected to happen on the general fudcon-planning list. Planning will include regular, weekly meetings and use of a publicly visible ticket queue. This transparency helps the Fedora community participate; community members can help organizers plan and execute the work that goes into the FUDCon event. That participation can produce a higher quality event that meets or exceeds attendee expectations. FUDCon is held several times each year around the globe as part of Fedora's premier events strategy. You can read more about Fedora events here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Premier_Fedora_Events * * * Please remove 'announce-list' from any replies to this message, since they'll be removed from its moderation queue. Thank you! -- Paul W.
