FUDCon LATAM: heads-up
by Mel Chua
Rodrigo and I talked a bit about FUDCon LATAM today, and how the
upcoming Events FAD might be able to help it out.
For transparency-ness, here are meeting notes/logs - this was entirely
spontaneous/unplanned, but when we realized we were talking about things
that should be logged, we move to channel and logged it.
http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fudcon-planning/2009-12-17/fudcon-planni...
This also raises two interesting questions:
(1) Local FUDCons will be planned - and run - in local languages. How
can we keep FUDCon planning in sync, given this? How much do we want to
worry (at the moment) about translating FUDCons, bringing people from
other regions in as guests to a region's FUDCon, etc?
(2) If we have 4 FUDCons a year (1 per region) and it takes 6 months to
plan a FUDCon, planning periods are going to overlap. This may make
reading mailing lists confusing. How can we handle this? Will we
eventually need fudcon-planning-latam, fudcon-planning-emea,
fudcon-planning-na, and fudcon-planning-apac?

Video/audio streaming team at the Events FAD?
by Mel Chua
Picking up an old thread...
http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/fudcon-planning/2009-November/00...
Andrew, Clint - interested in coming out, or know others who might be?
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Events_FAD_2010#Interested_Attendees
Thinking out loud - I'd like a FUDCon Live Technologies Team in-person
at the in-person portion of the FAD, working on making those
technologies deployable. I'd also like to have at *least* as many
remotees as we have in-person attendees at RDU, so we can dogfood FUDCon
Live tech [0]. It sounds like we're probably going to get Yaakov's
ninjahood on the FUDCon Live Remote side if we choose the right date. ;)
--Mel
[0] This will probably require prep so that the packaging doesn't take
forever and a day - I see we've got a David Nalley on the list as well,
though, and I may try to be a packaging 'prentice depending on what's
needed and how well my "Learn To Package" adventures go in early January.

Events FAD: now with date/location options!
by Mel Chua
Things move fast in Fedoraland...
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Events_FAD_2010#Interested_Attendees
Still gathering interest from attendees and trying to figure out a final
date/location, but we've got two date/location options at the moment.
Feel free to counterpropose additional locations/dates if you're willing
to host and organize logistics for it - I've volunteered myself for the
first two options[0].
Option 1: Raleigh, NC - Feb 5-7, 2010 (Fri-Sun)
Option 2: Raleigh, NC - Jan 29-31, 2010 (Fri-Sun)
I want everyone to be able to book tickets/rooms before the New Year,
since the dates are pretty close, so we'll be deciding on one in the
next 6 days.
If you're going "AIEE! I can't possibly make it in person!" never fear,
see
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Events_FAD_2010#A_note_on_remote_participa....
--Mel
[0] Compared to FUDCon, how bad can this possibly be? (I know, famous
last words.)

FUDCon Toronto: please take the 5-minute feedback survey
by Mel Chua
FUDCon Toronto (http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon:Toronto_2009) is
over - our largest FUDCon yet! We'd love to get your thoughts on how it
went, so:
* If you attended FUDCon Toronto, either in-person or remotely via
Fedora Live, please take this survey and tell us what you thought.
* If you didn't attend FUDCon Toronto but wanted to, please take this
survey and tell us how we can help you get to the next one.
* If you didn't want to go to FUDCon Toronto, please take this survey
and tell us why - it's anonymous. ;-)
The survey is available at
http://fedoraproject.limequery.org/index.php?sid=34266&lang=en
There are 29 questions, most of the yes/no variety; the survey takes
less than 5 minutes to complete (I just timed myself). A special thanks
to Robyn Bergeron, Yaakov Nemoy, and the rest of the Fedora Marketing
team for designing the survey so it *can* be completed in less than 5
minutes!
Questions are previewable at
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon_survey. The survey will be active
from 12/16/2009 through 1/8/2010, and we'll be analyzing and announcing
the results shortly after it closes. If you're curious about the
process, interested in helping us analyze the results, or have any
questions in general, join the conversation on the Fedora Marketing
mailing list
(https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-marketing-list).

Fwd: FUDConF13 videos
by Mel Chua
FYI, and for our archives re: recording FUDCon once we get to that
project at the Events FAD.

I've just posted 2 videos shot at FUDConF13 Toronto last week. I'm
afraid I haven't done justice though...
1) Moksha, by Luke Macken. My camera cut out after the first 10
minutes, so that's all we've got.

2) The last 20 minutes of the Fedora Infrastructure: Sysadmins
vs. Developers love-in. I'm grateful to whoever shot this, but
I've complete blanked on who it was now. I'll be glad to give you
attribution, please remind me!
http://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/videos/2009/FUDConF13/fudconf13-infr...
If anyone else has video or audio from this or other Fedora events
you'd care to share, please contact me and I'll help you get it into
proper ogg format, tagged, and posted to Fedora Infrastructure servers
for distribution.
Thanks,
Matt

FUDCon Toronto Accounting: the last you'll hear on this subject from The Mel
by Mel Chua
Thar she goes. All my numbers are final. Paul/Max, anything from your
accounts to add/adjust?
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/File:Fudcon-Toronto-2009-expenses.ods
We tipped the bus driver more than planned, but Clint's travel expenses
came in under budget (yay!) so we're actually $29.42 over, assuming your
receipts match with the line items on the budget (I tried to mark them
for ease o' checkingness).
I'm waiting for a check (for Saturday's lunch) to get cashed, one more
expense report (the portion of the hotel put on my card but charged to
the Fedora Engineering cost center) to get all the necessary stamps, and
a few Paypal transfers, but that's all just sitting here twiddling
thumbs on my part and peeking in in a week to make sure those all go
through.
So. FAD planning time! Lemme dig up those notes from our last meeting...
--Mel, who has some... thoughts on how to improve the budget process for
next time, starting with "leave more buffer room" and "remember, my
inbox is not a filing system for receipts"
