EMEA FUDCon Bids....

[Robyn Bergeron]

Dear EMEA folks bidding for FUDCons and Ambassadors:

I have little to no idea what is going on with FUDCon EMEA. My 
understanding is that there were some loose discussions at FOSDEM but I 
am not sure where those were communicated to others offhand.

I would prefer to avoid the situation of having a 2-month planning 
window like we do for APAC right now. :)

Where are we? Do we just need to start with an EMEA ambassadors meeting 
for the bidders?

-Robyn

In fact we couldn't discuss about that during EMEA Amba meetings, as
bidders were not there, so we started here on the mailing list.
I've started to move things two times, but really so few people are
reading fudcon-planning that it fails, adding @amba is best!

First important would be to define a deadline in order to select the
bid, cause actually we just let things going without being active on
this subject, and why not an EMEA meeting with EMEA FUDCon as main
agenda topic, if bidders could join. That could start mailing list
discussions if we get many questions.

Hi Robyn,
     hi Ambassadors in EMEA,

at the FAD@FOSDEM which took place on friday before the beerevent in "La
morte subite", there were just a bunch of Ambassadors who showed up. But
we voted and elected there (as the active part) for having the FUDCON EMEA
more likely in BUDAPEST (instead of somewhere else).
Afaik Jeroen (kanarip) put some notes. Maybe he can provide us all with a
more detailed information and maybe also some numbers ...

Hope to see you there

Gerold

On Friday/sat we spoke with Christoph and Jeroen even you I think, and
we understood that it was not yet decided/voted, but that you had some
feelings about potential bids, that would need some discussions.

If Budapest was chosen by that time, you (I mean FAmSCo) would have
saved us *lot* of time/disappointment by telling the offical decision
a month ago.

Uuuuh Kevin,

don't get me wrong. I just want to note, that those people who attend FAD
discussed very, very short. And those people (it were not that much, 12 or
13 thought) "wished" by a election of 6:5 or 7:6 (don't remember the
correct numbers) BUDAPEST vs. PARIS, and Zurich got no voice ...
But I agree that we must have all together a meeting to see, where the
journey should get in Autumn in EMEA :-)

All the best
Gerold
