#89: Funding request for Liam Bulkley -------------------------------+-------------------------------------------- Reporter: galan | Owner: jsmith Type: Funding request | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: FUDCon Tempe 2011 | Keywords: -------------------------------+-------------------------------------------- Tell us the following: * What do you need covered? (Please estimate the costs in USD: hotel $X, travel $Y) Travel: $250 * If we cannot provide a full subsidy, will a partial subsidy be helpful? (Yes/No) Yes * If Yes can you specify the minimum amount you would need covered to facilitate your attendance $150 * What will you accomplish by being at FUDCon? (Please be as specific as possible, since this is the most important factor in granting requests.) This would be my first time attending an OSS event but my goal is to meet some of the individuals involved with various projects so that they can put a face to the ideas and code. Aside from the above I've had difficulty with SELinux, like many, and several sessions are being offered which address it. * 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. US Airways FN 4256 -> 309 FLO to PHX FN 304 -> 4254 PHX to FLO * Do you need a visa or other official processing before you can attend FUDCon? If so, approximately how long does that processing take? No * Include any additional, relevant information. -- Ticket URL: <https://fedorahosted.org/fudcon-planning/ticket/89> fudcon-planning <http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon> FUDCon event planning

[fudcon-planning] #102: Provide local bus information to folks at the Sheraton

#102: Provide local bus information to folks at the Sheraton -------------------------------+-------------------------------------------- Reporter: rbergero | Owner: rrix Type: Task | Status: new Priority: blocker | Milestone: Tempe 2011: Day before start Component: FUDCon Tempe 2011 | Keywords: na-meeting -------------------------------+-------------------------------------------- Folks at the Sheraton will have access to using their shuttle. I will be arranging for some specific dropoff/pickup times. BUT, for those who need to go back to the hotel at other times, local transport information would be nice, particularly for: * to/from brickyard * to/from MemU * to/from Marriott, where most hanging out and hackfests will likely occur The Orbit Mercury looks to be the best/only route that can get to those places. It runs every 10-15 minutes. http://www.valleymetro.org/schedules_and_maps/?route=217&sort= I would like to provide folks who are checking into the Sheraton with a sheet on where to pick up, what times the buses run, etc. Most of this is provided on a .pdf on the Valley Metro website on the route page, but needs to be marked with more specific location as to where the actual stops are (this is in more detail on the map on the webpage). ** getting on/off the bus for the hotel (@ lemon st.) ** Marking the hotel's whereabouts ** Where Brickyard is ** Where MemU is ** draw some lines to where the Marriott is (they'll have to walk a few minutes from Mill Ave.) It is a FREE route, but hours need to be known, they're on the 2nd page of the .pdf. What I recommend is just printing the PDF as is, drawing in some additional lines for roads that aren't part of the route but have key places on them (For example, Rural for the Sheraton, whatever road the Marriott is on, etc. This might be harder for MemU, might need brainstorming around that.) It might be helpful to also note physical addresses and sometimes phone numbers of things on that piece of paper - Hotel addresses (both) w/phone #'s, MemU, Brickyard addresses. This could probably just be typed in at the bottom. And then make like 30 or 40 double-sided copies (who knows, people from the Marriott may want to go over to the Sheraton). (Also: the valley metro site seems to have two maps - one regular, and one listed as 1/24/11 preview? We might verify that the 1/24/11 preview is the one we should be using, i'm assuming new route details are going into effect.) -- Ticket URL: <https://fedorahosted.org/fudcon-planning/ticket/102> fudcon-planning <http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon> FUDCon event planning

FUDCon Tempe: Wrap-up
by Robyn Bergeron 04 Feb '11

04 Feb '11

Two things: #1: Last year, post FUDCon, we did a poll. Do we want to do this again? If so, we should probably do that ASAP, while things are still moderately fresh in people's brains. #2: I created a retrospective page. Please add to as you see fit. -Robyn

Hackfest Meetings
by Toshio Kuratomi 02 Feb '11

02 Feb '11

Just took a look at all the things that I have to do this FUDCon and relized that my hackfest time is going to be largely meetings and largely filled up already. One that hasn't been pre-arranged but we really should have -- We're flying a lot of latam ambassadors in this time around so they can help see FUDCon NA and carry ideas from that back to the planning forFUDCon Panama. It would be great if we could get the FUDCon Tempe Organizers and the Latam Ambassadors together for a meeting at some point. Maybe if there's a wrap up session planned, having this be an additional hour at the same meeting would be good. or maybe having it at a different time will save the Tempe Organizers from burnout :-) Some things that would be good to over are: * Estimates of how much time was put into getting making FUDCon Tempe. * Information about how much manpower came from the local organizers vs how much was done remotely. * Tips and strategies for staying on schedule and on budget. * Question and answer about the actual events that were held (barcamp, hackfest, fudpub) and ideas and concerns about what logistics make them successful. Dennis Gilmore could also give an update on how planning for FUDCon Panama is currently going and any observations about what's needed to make sure that that event comes out as well as this one. Thanks, -Toshio
