Greetings! (...or perhaps I should say.... bonjour!)<br>
<br>
I'd like to share a few reminders and announcements regarding the
upcoming FUDCon in Paris, France, on October 13-15, 2012. <br>
<br>
If you are planning to attend FUDCon and need a travel subsidy to do
so, the ticketing system is now open for those requests. Requests
will be accepted through August 15, 2012. Please note that funding
requests without a ticket will not be considered. Preference will be
given to attendees from the EMEA region who are actively
contributing to Fedora, and have detailed their participation plans
for FUDCon in their request.<br>
<br>
To place a subsidy request, please follow these steps:<br>
<br>
1: Pre-register at
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
<a
href="http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon:Paris_2012#Pre-registration">http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon:Paris_2012#Pre-registration</a>
- and put an X in the $$$ column<br>
2: Read about the funding request process and place a funding
request ticket in the FUDCon-planning ticket tracker here:

<br>
Additionally, a few notes regarding the hotel in Paris:<br>
<br>
There are other events in Paris during this time period; most
notably, our first day of FUDCon will be taking place at the Open
World Forum conference, on the day in which the public is encouraged
to participate in and learn about open source projects. OWF had
nearly 2000 attendees last year. Accordingly, rooms might be in
short supply as we approach FUDCon; please, book your hotel as soon
as possible, not only for affordability purposes, but also so that
you have a bed to sleep in. :)<br>
<br>
We currently have a rate of EUR81 per night at the ibis Paris La
Vilette Cite des Sciences<span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);

and any remaining rooms in our block will expire.<br>
<br>
