FUDCon accounting update
by Mel Chua
See attached spreadsheet for automagical adding and not having to
wrestle wikitable syntax.
We are currently spending $17,558.73 of $19k, which means we have
$1,441.27 remaining for various and sundry, including any overages from
estimated travel (as the bookings trickle in, a decent number are
actually under budget so this seems like it will balance out) and
just-in-case stuff like "will the bus cost more money than we thought?"
or "last minute run to office supply store for nametag stickers!" or
what have you.
If we want to leave $500 for wiggle room, we have a little under $1k
left for sponsorships today.
I'm going to (1) double-check all "FUNDING APPROVED!" meeting minutes to
make super-sure we have the right numbers for everyone, and that they're
adding up correctly - they just did this first time, so they'd better
the second time too ;) and then (2) email all funding recipients,
regardless of whether they've been pinged before / are 100% booked or
not / whatever, so that everyone knows what their status is and what
they have to do to close their portion of the books.

Next big target for FUDCon -- rooms
by Paul W. Frields
After we finish up on subsidies, I think the next thing lurking on the
horizon is rooms. The things I've been thinking about:
* It's easiest if we pair up people who are being paid for out of the
same budget.
* Anyone looking for roommates who's left over, we can do a "best
guess" job of pairing up, and email them to let them know
assignments (and change as needed).
* Once we have people paired up, we should make sure all those
assignments are on the wiki, and plenty of notices sent out
everywhere so people know it's been done.
* We need to send something around to boston-list internally at Red
Hat (and if there's a relevant external list we can use that too) to
ask people to volunteer crash space for people staying in Boston
Thursday and/or Tuesdya nights.
Anything else I might be forgetting?

Last-minute design help needed: FUDCon ad
by Mel Chua
So we had the FUDCon ad all finished, and then there was a last-minute
change of format, and from B&W to color. But we did it!
https://fedorahosted.org/design-team/ticket/71#comment:17
...the wrong way 'round. It works this way, Chris is going to print it
sideways if we need to, but in case someone wants to pick up a quick
last-minute tweak, the ticket's up.
Chris notes the final file is needed by noon EDT (approx 4.5 hours from
now). We are ok as-is, so this is not a PANIC NOW! ticket, more a "if
you want to tweak it, noon EDT is the cutoff" note.
--Mel
(in #fedora-design)
11:14:29 < brejc8> is that "4.25" (tall) x 5.5" (wide)" ?
11:16:09 < brejc8> mchua: do you have the widths and heights the right
way round?
11:17:43 < mchua> brejc8: ...ARGH
(over in #fudcon-planning)
11:19:12 < mchua> ctyler: um... can you print it sideways?
11:19:22 * mchua should probably not inkscape in the wee hours of the
morning
11:19:41 < ctyler> mchua: we could, but it might look... sideways
11:20:01 < mchua> ctyler: "adds visual interest"?
11:20:08 * ctyler feels really bad about the last minute changes
11:20:44 * mchua could add "why is this ad sideways? come to FUDCon
Toronto and ask Chris Tyler to find out!"

Meeting minutes 2009-10-22
by Mel Chua
Minutes from both the earlier sponsorship meeting with myself and Paul,
and the later prelude-to-a-worksprint regular status meeting, are up.
And entertaining. Particularly the latter, where Yaakov works out
transcription of the ENTIRE EVENT in something like 5 minutes.
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon:FUDCon_Toronto_2009_Planning_meetin...
Bert, Yaakov, and I are in #fudcon-planning sprinting on various FUDCon
tasks right now. Namely:
* transcription setup (Yaakov)
* tshirt design (Bert)
* accounting (me)
Join the fun! (It's recommended that you join the non-accounting fun,
because that's the part that's actually... fun.)
