FUDCon LATAM: heads-up
by Mel Chua 03 Jan '10

03 Jan '10

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-planning… 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? --Mel

FUDCon APAC conversations starting in fedora-india
by Mel Chua 23 Dec '09

23 Dec '09

Last week we had a FUDCon LATAM conversation log emailed to this list - this week it's APAC's turn, as the folks in India are beginning to do their planning... https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-india/2009-December/msg00082.html Working on getting all the regional FUDCon planners in here so we can share ideas and help each other out more easily - if you know of any other conversations, please point them towards this list. --Mel

Video/audio streaming team at the Events FAD?
by Mel Chua 20 Dec '09

20 Dec '09

Picking up an old thread... http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/fudcon-planning/2009-November/0002… 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 17 Dec '09

17 Dec '09

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_participati…. --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 16 Dec '09

16 Dec '09

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) --Mel

Wiki page for blog posts on FUDCon Toronto - need to merge?
by Mel Chua 16 Dec '09

16 Dec '09

Robyn and I needed a wiki page to direct people to for FUDCon blog posts for the FUDCon feedback survey (going out in the next ~30m), and I couldn't find the one Steven was making, so I put one up. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon:Toronto_2009_Blogs Steven, let me know if you'd like me to merge this page with any other page and I'll be more than happy to do the wiki-dance. --Me

If you're interested in coming, take a few minutes to put your name down on... https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Events_FAD_2010#Interested_Attendees This will help determine where we have the FAD. No matter what, remote participation will always be an option. If you're able to host or know a location nearby that would work (I believe we've discussed a repeat visit to Paul's, or perhaps something in Raleigh) note that too! We're also still looking for ideas for things to work on: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Events_FAD_2010#Purpose --Mel

Fwd: FUDConF13 videos
by Mel Chua 15 Dec '09

15 Dec '09

FYI, and for our archives re: recording FUDCon once we get to that project at the Events FAD. -------- Original Message -------- Subject: FUDConF13 videos Date: Tue, 15 Dec 2009 09:31:39 -0600 From: Matt Domsch <Matt_Domsch(a)dell.com> Reply-To: Development discussions related to Fedora <fedora-devel-list(a)redhat.com> To: fedora-devel-list(a)redhat.com 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. http://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/videos/2009/FUDConF13/fudconf13-moksha… 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-infras… 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.

FUDCon Toronto Accounting: the last you'll hear on this subject from The Mel
by Mel Chua 15 Dec '09

15 Dec '09

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"
