Hi All,
Deadline is tight, but I am sure we can make it. Here is some information about the planning of a possible FUDCon in China. Currently I put up a page for a bid to host the next FUDCon APAC in Beijing, China. The page for the bid is available at:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon:China_2011
This is just short summary of the talk I had with Yu Shao and Grace Liu from Red Hat Engineering in Beijing. The Raycom office of RH (Engineering) has shown interest to help out with making this FUDCon in China possible. Have added Grace to the event owners list.
Date; November as suggested. Preferred to have it this year, so continuing with the 2011 bidding process. Currently dates are set for (11+)12+13 November or (18+)19+20 of November.
Locations have been quickly discussed; Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications has been mentioned as the venue. So two possible locations are available (all easily reachable by line 10, subway). The current options available are Renmin University or BUPT. This information is still not complete, due to ongoing inquiries.
Raycom office might be available as an alternave location to host hackfest or other activities.
Other information needs to be added to finalize the bid page; mostly price estimates for flights and hotel options. Please, feel free to add information about flights to this page. Any help is welcomed, considering the deadline is next Thursday (the 23rd of June).
regards,
Gerard
