[Test-Announce] FUDCon Blacksburg subsidies announcement, and general planning update.

Greetings everyone, A few updates on the upcoming FUDCon in Blacksburg, VA in January 2012: * We will be having our second subsidy meeting on Wednesday, November 23rd. This meeting will be for evaluating and processing any available subsidy monies for international attendees, as well as processing any new North America-based subsidy requests. If you are requesting a subsidy, please ensure that your Trac ticket for requesting subsidies is complete, particularly and especially with detail to what you plan to accomplish / do while at FUDCon. With more than ten international requests, and limited funding, it is especially important for the people attending the meeting to have a clear picture of your plans in order to make a decision on funding. The subsidy meeting is open for anyone to attend. Please feel free to participate, especially if you have requested funding, so that we may ask questions and get answers in a timely manner. The meeting occurs this Wednesday (during the normal FUDCon planning meeting time) at 17:00 UTC in #fedora-meeting on irc.freenode.net (9am Pacific, Noon Eastern). For more information on applying for a subsidy, please read https://fedorahosted.org/fudcon-planning/wiki/FundingRequest * Pre-registration for FUDCon is open. If you are planning to attend, please visit the event wiki page at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon:Blacksburg_2012 to add your name to the registration list. * Rooms at the hotel for FUDCon can be booked now.
