Proposal for FUDcon LATAM 2011: Porto Alegre - Brazil
by Daniel Bruno 30 Sep '10

30 Sep '10

Hello Everyone, I am glad to present one more proposal [1] for the next FUDCon LATAM. Porto Alegre is located in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, the southernmost state in Brazil. The state borders Argentina and Uruguay. Porto Alegre is one of the wealthiest cities in Latin America and is one of the most import capitals in Brazil. This proposal is for hosting the FUDCon LATAM 2011 along with the 12th International Free Software Forum (FISL - Fórum Internacional de Software Livre in Portuguese) [2]. The FISL is an internationally known event, held at Pontifical University of Rio Grande do Sul - PUC-RS. The venue includes rooms for 100-150 people and also an auditorium. The latest edition of FISL had 7511 subscribers, with several participants from nearby countries such as Argentina and Uruguay.

The "roommate" finding thing...
by Robyn Bergeron 30 Sep '10

30 Sep '10

Do we want or need people coming on the Fedora engineering tab to be rooming with other Fedora engineers for the purposes of easing the hotel / subsidy process? Or does it not matter, because it eventually comes out of one larger pocket (Red Hat's)? If the former, do we want to encourage the engineering folks to pair up as soon as humanly possible, so as to start cutting down on the "available roommates" list? -Robyn

#41: Funding request for Dave Riches -------------------------------+-------------------------------------------- Reporter: dcr226 | Owner: jsmith, rbergero, rrix Type: Funding request | Status: new Priority: blocker | Milestone: Component: FUDCon Tempe 2011 | Keywords: -------------------------------+-------------------------------------------- Tell us the following: * What do you need covered? (Please estimate the costs in USD.) Hotel and Flight costs. Flight from Heathrow, London to Pheonix 28th January approx $500. * Will a partial subsidy be helpful? (Yes/No) Yes, it would be great even if you can just sponsor the hotel, I have put my name down for room sharing. * What will you accomplish by being at FUDCon? (Please be as specific as possible.) As an op on #fedora, I would appreciate the time getting to know the rest of the ops team in person, and finding out first-hand about new technologies and directions. I am also particularly interested in virtualization technologies, specifically KVM and KSM. I have done an amount of personal research with ZRAM, and would appreciate meeting some of the developers / maintainers of these components to discuss the direction and future of virt technology -- Ticket URL: <https://fedorahosted.org/fudcon-planning/ticket/41> fudcon-planning <http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon> FUDCon event planning

#20: Funding request for Larry Cafiero (lcafiero) -------------------------------+-------------------------------------------- Reporter: lcafiero | Owner: jsmith, rbergero, rrix Type: Funding request | Status: new Priority: blocker | Milestone: Tempe 2011: Travel subisides complete Component: FUDCon Tempe 2011 | Keywords: -------------------------------+-------------------------------------------- Tell us the following: * What do you need covered? Lodging, which appears to be either a room at the Mission Palms or the Courtyard Tempe. I am not particular, but I will have my daughter with me, so sharing could be problematic. * If we cannot provide a full subsidy, will a partial subsidy be helpful? Yes. * What will you accomplish by being at FUDCon? As this is my first event of this nature, I don't know what I can accomplish. I know what I can offer -- that is, any discussion/session/panel around ambassador issues (i.e., mentoring, event management, etc.) -- but it's unclear how to make such a proposal. I'd like to think I'd take from this event a better understanding of the workings of Fedora and perhaps a slightly increased programming skill set. * If you are requesting airfare, include complete flight information such as flight numbers, desired departure and arrival airports, and times. Also let us know if you have specific time restrictions. I will be driving to Tempe. * Include any additional, relevant information. None, really. -- Ticket URL: <https://fedorahosted.org/fudcon-planning/ticket/20> fudcon-planning <http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon> FUDCon event planning

[fudcon-planning] #56: Need some instructions for people getting subsidized as to how that process works

#56: Need some instructions for people getting subsidized as to how that process works -------------------------------+-------------------------------------------- Reporter: rbergero | Owner: pfrields, jsmith Type: Task | Status: new Priority: blocker | Milestone: Tempe 2011: wiki complete Component: FUDCon Tempe 2011 | Keywords: -------------------------------+-------------------------------------------- I got a question from one of our awesome attendees on "how to book your hotel when you are getting a subsidy." I wasn't sure of the answer. If you are getting your hotel subsidized, who books the hotel? How does payment work out? How does this work when you have a roommate? I think it would be helpful to have this information somewhere on the wiki for (a) hotel subsidies, and (b) airline tickets. Maybe some information about the timeline, if they pay for it themselves when they should expect to be reimbursed, etc. -- Ticket URL: <https://fedorahosted.org/fudcon-planning/ticket/56> fudcon-planning <http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon> FUDCon event planning

Review your action items, thanks!

Hi FUDCon Tempe planners, please help keep things moving briskly by doing two things: * Visit and update your open tickets: https://fedorahosted.org/fudcon-planning/report/4 Even if there's nothing new to report, it's OK to note that in the ticket -- you can include an ETA for more info if it's on the way. * Take care of action items from the last meeting: http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fudcon-planning/2010-09-20/fudcon_tempe_pl… I'm trying to practice what I preach -- I have two of three action items outstanding, which I'm going to work on right now. Thanks for helping with the work on this conference -- I know we can have the best FUDCon yet with so many community members participating and doing great work. -- Paul W.

All approved non-US flights booked!
by Paul W. Frields 24 Sep '10

24 Sep '10

Little milestone has now been reached -- all the previously approved, non-US airfares have been booked for FUDCon Tempe. I just finished the last one which had been hanging around for a few days. Yay! There are still some pending requests: * Airfares for people in the US. Jared is taking care of booking these. * Requests opened that didn't make our funds cutoff. Max, Jared and I will be sorting out the remaining Comm-Arch funds for premier Fedora events after a few outstanding invoices are accounted for. Once that's done, we will *probably* be able to free up some more travel subsidy money. It may not happen for a few weeks, so please be patient while we sort the money out. -- Paul W.
