Libre Graphics Meeting
by Max Spevack
I don't see anything on the Events page about a Fedora presence at Libre
Graphics Meeting this year.
Am I looking in the wrong place, or are we not attending?
Fedora has been asked to sponsor, and I am trying to figure out what to
do.
Knowing what the Fedora Ambassadors and Design teams are doing would be
useful.
Thanks!

FUDCon NA Decisions: Recap of meeting, next steps
by Robyn Bergeron
Hi folks,
Apologies for lack of timeliness. Life popped up and reared its head.
Also, apologies for cross-posting, but wanted to catch folks on both
lists here.
This mail is a recap of the FUDCon NA location discussion we had at last
week's NA ambassadors' meeting; I volunteered to recap and re-schedule a
continuation/conclusion of the discussion.
Please note: If you have any comments, questions, objections, etc. to
anything I've laid out below, by all means, please respond. This mail,
in case you're not wanting to look above, is sent to fudcon-planning,
and cc'd to Ambassadors-list, since the ambassadors' meeting is where
the original discussion took place - and I'd like to try and corral the
mail to fudcon-planning, if at all possible.
Status:
At the 2011-04-19 NA Ambassadors' meeting, we discussed, as requested,
the two candidates for the upcoming NA FUDCon, to be held in late
2011/early 2012.
* Logs:
http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-meeting/2011-04-20/famna.2011-04-...
* Minutes:
http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-meeting/2011-04-20/famna.2011-04-...
We attempted to utilize the spreadsheet that was used for LATAM FUDCon
decision-making, but didn't quite understand the context of some of the
questions. (IE: "Located in NA." Yes, the NA FUDCon *should* be located
in NA - should this be a rank of how good the location is? Not sure. Etc.)
After some confusion, we came to the consensus that perhaps we should
just discuss the merits of both proposals. Which we did, and then ran
out of time after an hour of discussion, with no decision as to a
recommendation.
I'd like to propose that we have a special meeting to wrap up this
discussion. Based on availability of the folks making proposals, I'd
like to set a time of THIS Wednesday, April 27, at 9PM Eastern, 6PM
Pacific, in #fudcon-planning.
Before we get to the meeting-time, however, I'd like to cover a few
bases (aka, next steps):
1.) Do we want to reassess the idea of using the spreadsheet, or work
without it? I think it may be more handy when we have more than 2 bids.
Are there any ways to measure where a FUDCon should be that we should be
taking into consideration?
2.) Come up with a brief agenda for the meeting so that we can use
everyone's time as wisely as possible, and come to a decision on
recommendation by the end of that hour. THE AGENDA NEEDS TO BE CREATED
AS FAR IN ADVANCE AS POSSIBLE, preferably over the course of today, so
that people can prep as needed. If there are any discussion topics you'd
like to see, please pop into #fudcon-planning at any time today and make
it known, or alternately, send an email to the fudcon planning list.
3.) Ensure that we have a timeline for follow-up and final decision -
Jared, can you please make sure this is on FAMSCo's agenda for this
weekend, and that you can attend or send an alternate, and arrange a
date for next week to do any final decision-making / announcing? (Red
Hat Summit is next week, so I'd like to make sure we can get a decision
out prior to departure for that event, which may mean Monday - but I
don't want to leave people hanging for another week.)
