Hello,<br><br>Thanks Ankur for the nice email. This will be the biggest milestone of our decisions. Unfortunately I won't be able to make it tomorrow. Because <font>I'm attending to the</font><font> Apache BarCamp Colombo[1]. But I'll try to login to IRC from my mobile. Also I'll update the wiki page [2] with my recommendation.<br>
<br>Have a nice weekend<br>Thanks!<br></font><h1 style="font-weight:normal"> </h1> [1] <a href="http://barcamp.org/w/page/50716721/apache-lk-12">http://barcamp.org/w/page/50716721/apache-lk-12</a><br>[2] <a href="https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon:APAC_2012_recommendations">https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon:APAC_2012_recommendations</a><br>

** ATTENTION AMBASSADORS **<br>
If you haven't already, please read Robyn's mail to the fudcon-planning<br>
list[1] stressing that the APAC FUDCon will need to be deferred to next<br>
year if a decision is not made quickly. It makes perfect sense, since<br>
the period for FUDCon APAC is March 1 - May 31, which is almost upon us,<br>
leaving us hardly any time to organize the event.<br>
<br>
We'd like to call an emergency meeting tomorrow at 0400UTC (Sunday, 26th<br>
February 0400UTC at #fedora-meeting) with only one agenda in mind: "Make<br>
a concrete recommendation to FAmSCo on FUDCon APAC". If we fail to<br>
decide on a location, the default recommendation is "Defer to 2013<br>
cycle".<br>
<br>
date -d 'Sun 26 Feb 2012 0400 UTC'<br>
<br>
** ATTENTION BID OWNERS **<br>
If you are the owner of one of the bids[3],[4],[5], it is imperative you<br>
attend this meeting to market your bid. Please do also go through your<br>
bid pages and add all the information you can, up to date.<br>
<br>
** MAKING YOUR RECOMMENDATION **<br>
I've also created a wiki page here[2] that you can use to submit your<br>
recommendations. Please try to attend the meeting, if you cannot, you<br>
are welcome to make a recommendation on the list here or to use the<br>
wiki.<br>
<br>
All of this should've been done much earlier, but it still isn't too<br>
late. Please try to have your recommendations in by 26th Feb 2359UTC<br>
<br>
date -d 'Sun 26 Feb 2012 2359 UTC'<br>
