#64: Need to determine alcohol arrangements for FUDPub -------------------------------+-------------------------------------------- Reporter: rbergero | Owner: rbergero Type: Task | Status: new Priority: blocker | Milestone: Tempe 2011: FUDPub logistics complete Component: FUDCon Tempe 2011 | Keywords: na-meeting -------------------------------+-------------------------------------------- We will likely be using Pourmasters for FUDPub (per approval at upcoming meeting). The proposal is for them to provide the following, for a period of 5 hours (or less), at 3.25/person attending, with 2 bartenders: Complete Beverage Service: Bartender(s), Bar(s), Coke, Diet Coke, Sprite, Bottled Water, Tonic & Club Soda; Orange, Grapefruit & Cranberry Juice; Margarita Mix; Lemons & Limes; Ice; 9oz & 12oz Plastic Cups; Napkins; Stir Sticks; Plastic Tubs; Basic Bar Supplies. (Note that this is a good deal for all involved, since buying a bottle of can of coke from ASU catering can run $1 each and up.) Contact info for pourmasters: Use the phone number on their website, pourmasters.com. Our contact is Dave, the owner, dave at pourmasters dot com. Gratuity is not included. We can opt to either have tip jars, include a flat 20% gratuity, or pay them gratuity in full on day of service. Invoice will be sent approximately one week before FUDPub, with option to pay via card or check. Needs to be paid, if not in advance, on day of service. Pourmasters is already on file with assorted campus departments (catering, ASU PD) with the appropriate insurance information. With this service, we can provide the alcohol. Dave gave me an approximation of how much alcohol we would need for an event with 200 people. Vodka: 4 1.5L bottles Rum: 2 1.5L bottles Gin: 2 1.5L bottles Bourbon: 2 1.5L bottles Tequila: 2 1.5L bottles Scotch: 2 750ml bottles (possibly 2 different kinds). Beer: 10 cases of beer (24 bottles/case). He recommended 3 or 4 types. This will probably be a fun battle to choose. :) Wine: 2 cases of wine (recommends 12 bottles each of white and red, which seems a bit much based on our demographics, but we could always return unopened alcohol.) Estimated costs coming soon. We have two options: We can either pay for all the alcohol - or we can round up the people who want to drink alcohol and get them to pony up a donation towards that cause (would probably be in the 10-20$ range, nothing extravagant). Any leftover alcohol can either be returned or given to someone who is of age and lives in the local area. :D -- Ticket URL: <https://fedorahosted.org/fudcon-planning/ticket/64> fudcon-planning <http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon> FUDCon event planning

This needs to be done at least 14 calendar days before FUDPub. Permit will need to be displayed on-site at the event. Some general information: The application requests information about various matters, including: the type of event, number of attendees, how much liquor and/or beer the sponsor is planning on serving, how much food is going to be provided, and whether the server of the alcohol possesses a current liquor license. The reverse side of the application provides information on the required types and levels of insurance coverages. If an event is to be held at the Memorial Union, the request must be submitted to the Director of the Memorial Union for approval, prior to submission to the ASU Police Department. Events held at other University locations must be approved by the applicable dean or director.

We should wait as long as possible to do this, but no later. ;-) Really, that's around a week or so before the event, it doesn't need to be the night before. What has worked well in previous FUDCons is to make sure each badge includes a marking for the attendee's indicated vegetarian status (V, or VV for vegan), and their shirt size. When that's printed right on the badge, it makes check-in at the registration desk super-easy for everyone. Another marking or format can delineate pre-registered people versus late registrants. That can help with some of the swag giveaways and making sure that everyone gets what they expect. -- Ticket URL: <https://fedorahosted.org/fudcon-planning/ticket/29> fudcon-planning <http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon> FUDCon event planning

Of course, but a full subsidy would be more helpful :) * What will you accomplish by being at FUDCon? (Please be as specific as possible, since this is the most important factor in granting requests.) As an outgoing FAmSCo member, I plan on spending time with the many FAmSCo members who are going to be present.

#33: Funding request for Jean-Francois Saucier (djf_jeff) -------------------------------+-------------------------------------------- Reporter: jfsaucier | Owner: jsmith, rbergero, rrix Type: Funding request | Status: new Priority: blocker | Milestone: Component: FUDCon Tempe 2011 | Keywords: -------------------------------+-------------------------------------------- Tell us the following: * What do you need covered? (Please estimate the costs in USD: hotel $X, travel $Y) Hotel + Plane tickets. I welcome room sharing and I can take care of my others expenses. For hotel, I plan on arriving January 28 and leave on February 1. Plane ticket should be at around 750$ with Delta Airlines for the round trip (Departure from Quebec, YQB). * If we cannot provide a full subsidy, will a partial subsidy be helpful? (Yes/No) Yes, of course! * What will you accomplish by being at FUDCon? (Please be as specific as possible, since this is the most important factor in granting requests.) After attending my first FUDCon last year in Toronto, it's easier to see how this sort of event flow now. One thing that I would like to organize at the FUDCon is to do a cleanup of the Review Requests that are in Bugzilla. Many good packages are there and just wait for a review. I think that it could be extended to an IRC effort too at the same time, so, people unable to attend could help too. I plan on meeting other Fedora Ambassadors to see how we can speed the grow of the Fedora Project in Quebec and Canada. We have already completed many steps on this but some remains. Meeting with other Ambassadors (and some from other regions than USA) will be really helpful. I also plan on working with others on packaging efforts that will be present at the FUDCon. Apart from that, I plan to have fun meeting people that share the same goal as me! * If you are requesting airfare, include complete flight information such as flight numbers, desired departure and arrival airports, and times. Also let us know if you have specific time restrictions. I plan to leave from YQB on January 28 to PHX and make the trip back on February 1. I have no special needs and I don't mind the departure/arrival time. Many flights leave from Quebec for this date so I will choose the less expensive one when I book the final travel details. * Do you need a visa or other official processing before you can attend FUDCon? If so, approximately how long does that processing take? No, everything is fine here. * Include any additional, relevant information. Thanks for considering my application. -- Ticket URL: <https://fedorahosted.org/fudcon-planning/ticket/33> fudcon-planning <http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon> FUDCon event planning

FUDCon Tempe budget update
by Max Spevack 29 Nov '10

29 Nov '10

Hi FUDcon Tempe organizers, I had a chance to get all caught up on Community Architecture team expenses over the Thanksgiving weekend, and here's where we stand for FUDCon Tempe. The sum total of expenses that I've either paid for myself, or of expense reports coming from folks like Paul and Jared that were transferred to the Community budget is currently $11,590. Robyn -- I know there's still some more plane tickets that need to be purchased, but when we talked about that last week, it seemed like the list of tickets in the trac instance and the actual airfare requirements didn't match up. What still needs to be bought? Or am I just missing something obvious? --Max
