FUDCon organization Q&A @ Barcamp?
by Sandro "red" Mathys 12 Oct '10

12 Oct '10

Hi folks, I think it would be a great idea to run a Q&A session at FUDCon Tempe 2011 where future FUDCon organizers could ask whatever questions they have and profit from the experience of former FUDCon organizers. I know I can just pitch that session but I think much more knowledge will be necessary to answer all the questions than just mine (particularly knowledge about different regions) - therefore I'm wondering if other former organizers (incl. those of FUDCon Tempe) and possibly Community Architecture folks would join me in such a session and what you generally think about the idea. Regards, red

GoDaddy sponsorship
by Paul W. Frields 12 Oct '10

12 Oct '10

Some of the volunteer planners for FUDCon have been working on potential sponsorship opportunities with different commercial firms, some in the PHX area, to help defray some FUDCon costs. To those volunteers, your work is highly appreciated! Regardless of whether any of these firms contribute sponsorship funds, we'd of course love to see them at the event. One of the sponsorships being pursued by our volunteers is with GoDaddy[1], a fairly well-known hosting/VPS/services company. Some concerns have been raised about GoDaddy as a sponsor, primarily because the perception of some of their advertising may have an unintended adverse effect on FUDCon. We want the proceedings to be as welcoming to everyone as possible, since after all FUDCon is free and open to everyone. (In fact, AFAIK there is no argument whatsoever that we are overjoyed to have GoDaddy employees attending.) However, if associating our event with GoDaddy through a direct sponsorship results in a misunderstanding of Fedora's inclusivity, then that sponsorship wouldn't be to our benefit. I'm not offering any opinion on the values or actions of GoDaddy. That's not why I'm writing about this issue. I simply think we run a substantial risk of creating a mistaken impression about inclusivity in the Fedora Project with such a sponsorship. With so many other rewarding and valuable ways to spend our valuable resources, time, and attention, I think it behooves us to find sponsorships with less potential for divisiveness in the free software community. -- Paul W.

ASU Catering orders
by Paul W. Frields 11 Oct '10

11 Oct '10

I think we'll be able to close a handful of tickets if we get the ASU catering orders decided. Robyn, do you have pointers to the menus and such for that, or is your PoC there still putting information about our choices together for us? Also, noting that if we get any orders finalized, we can come to a sponsor and say, "Here's what the bill will be, can you pay for this?". -- Paul W.

T-shirts for FUDCon Tempe
by Paul W. Frields 11 Oct '10

11 Oct '10

For FUDCon Tempe, we need: (1) Someone to either make, or work with the Design team to have made, a design for the shirt (2) Someone to get all the vendor stuff sorted out so someone from Red Hat can call, give credit card info, and the shirts will be made and sent somewhere appropriate for the event. Do I hear any takers? -- Paul W.
