[fudcon-planning] #64: Need to determine alcohol arrangements for FUDPub

#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

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

I'm planning to give 2 or 3 talks: ** How to live with SELinux at the moment, I am giving this presentation all over Europe, but I want to show it to an American audiance too.. here is an abstract: Security Enhanced Linux, is disabled in most cases due to fact that most people do not take the time to understand how to work with SELinux. However security increases, by keeping SELinux on, as all applications are segregated therefor even if a intruder were to enter it would only affect that application. In RHEL,Fedora most applications are predefined in SELinux and can be adjusted, however other applications can be added easily with the integrated tools, allowing you to run any custom application. The presentation explains what SELinux is, how it works, how to implement the predefined policies and how to create custom policies. ** My vision on the future of the Fedora project My vision about the non technical challenges the Fedora Project encounters (marketing, ambassadors, ...), how we can anticipate on it, what to change, what is good, brain storming, making things happen. ** intro talk about Fedora Linux installation, and basic configuration, like I did last year, but in one hour in stead of 2 hours ** Syncing with Ryan Rix get the guidelines settled for the Campus Ambassador project + review the first months that are happening now * If you are requesting airfare, include complete flight information such as flight numbers, desired departure and arrival airports, and times.

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.

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?

Hotel reservations
by Paul W. Frields 01 Oct '10

01 Oct '10

Hi FUDCon Tempe travelers from outside North America, Please make sure you have done both of the following to secure your lodging for the FUDCon event. (1) Locate a roommate for FUDCon Tempe who's on our subsidy list. The list of subsidies is here: http://tinyurl.com/fudcon-tempe-subods All the subsidized people have a "Y" in the granted category. Make sure both you and your roommate note your choice in the "Room sharing" column on the wiki pre-registration table: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon:Tempe_2011#Pre-registration (2) Either you or your roommate needs to make a hotel reservation. We want to make sure our hotel block obligations are made. Some of you may have done this already. The links you need are here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon:Tempe_2011#Lodging If you need to extend your dates beyond three nights (and many of you do), try setting the dates in your reservation using the links provided. If that does not work, please let me know, or you can call the hotel to have them make the changes for you. Please don't delay! Our rates are only guaranteed until NOVEMBER 5 (2010-11-05). Thanks and I look forward to seeing all of you in Tempe next year! (Also, I realize a couple of you may be awaiting final resolution of your airfare. Don't worry, we'll make it happen! Go ahead and get your hotel taken care of, as shown above.) cc: fudcon-planning list -- Paul W.

Continuing role in FUDCon
by Paul W. Frields 30 Sep '10

30 Sep '10

Hi FUDCon Tempe folks, I wanted to point you to a post I made yesterday regarding the kinds of things I'm working on these days: http://paul.frields.org/?p=3416 I wanted to drop a short note to the list as promised to talka bit about my FUDCon involvement over the next several months, especially as it pertains to FUDCon Tempe. Our "street team" including Robyn, Ryan, Steven, and Clint have done a fantastic job helping keep our preparation timely and effective. I'm really happy the Trac has helped us all keep tuned in to what's going on and what remains to be done. My plan is to continue assisting with FUDCon Tempe up through the actual event, including follow-up work like making sure bills are accounted for an paid. Following the release of Fedora 14 I may be asking Jared to help chair more of the meetings and help manage the Trac queue. I am trying to concentrate my efforts on critical-path tasks for FUDCon, including where a Red Hat credit card is required. :-) For other tasks, such as securing outside sponsorships, I'm encouraging planning group to: * Push initiatives forward they think are important for the event * Keep the group informed through this list and the Trac * Collaborate using our community tools like the wiki wherever possible * Not block on me personally unless they need something paid or (for whatever reason) some official blessing For upcoming FUDCon events in other geos, like the upcoming FUDCon LATAM, I'll make sure Jared and other appropriate stakeholders such as the Red Hat Community Architecture team (which provides the lion's share of funding) are set up with some sort of general schedule to keep those events moving forward. To make those events successful their organizing teams need to be committed to transparent communication -- much like the Tempe event. I know they'll step up to the plate and do a fantastic job! -- Paul W.

FUDCon LATAM 2011 bids
by Paul W. Frields 30 Sep '10

30 Sep '10

The bid period for the next Fedora Users and Developers Conference (FUDCon) in the LATAM region is open, and will remain open for a few more weeks. The bid process for FUDCon is outlined here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon_bid_process Two bids have already been received for FUDCon at this point, and the process will continue soon with an award, a budget, and an open and transparent planning process: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon:LATAM_2011_Bid_Panama http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon:LATAM_2011_Bid_Foz Bids will continue to be accepted until *September 30, 2010*. Bids must be published on the Fedora wiki, and a URL for the bid sent to the fudcon-planning list: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/fudcon-planning The majority budget holder, the Community Architecture team, will consult with the bid teams and regional Ambassador leadership, work with the Fedora Project Leader to decide on a location and date, and make an announcement of the next LATAM region FUDCon soon afterward. Decisions for a FUDCon location are made on the basis of many factors, including costs, quality and quantity of bid information provided, facilities available, bid team commitment, and the desire to move FUDCon around a given region where practical. Once the venue and dates are decided, planning for the LATAM region FUDCon event is expected to happen on the general fudcon-planning list. Planning will include regular, weekly meetings and use of a publicly visible ticket queue. This transparency helps the Fedora community participate; community members can help organizers plan and execute the work that goes into the FUDCon event. That participation can produce a higher quality event that meets or exceeds attendee expectations. FUDCon is held several times each year around the globe as part of Fedora's premier events strategy. You can read more about Fedora events here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Premier_Fedora_Events * * * Please remove 'announce-list' from any replies to this message, since they'll be removed from its moderation queue.

Proposal for FUDcon LATAM 2011: Porto Alegre - Brazil
by Daniel Bruno 30 Sep '10

30 Sep '10

Hello Everyone, I am glad to present one more proposal [1] for the next FUDCon LATAM. Porto Alegre is located in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, the southernmost state in Brazil. The state borders Argentina and Uruguay. Porto Alegre is one of the wealthiest cities in Latin America and is one of the most import capitals in Brazil. This proposal is for hosting the FUDCon LATAM 2011 along with the 12th International Free Software Forum (FISL - Fórum Internacional de Software Livre in Portuguese) [2].

The "roommate" finding thing...
by Robyn Bergeron 30 Sep '10

30 Sep '10

Do we want or need people coming on the Fedora engineering tab to be rooming with other Fedora engineers for the purposes of easing the hotel / subsidy process? Or does it not matter, because it eventually comes out of one larger pocket (Red Hat's)? If the former, do we want to encourage the engineering folks to pair up as soon as humanly possible, so as to start cutting down on the "available roommates" list? -Robyn

(Please estimate the costs in USD.) Hotel and Flight costs. Flight from Heathrow, London to Pheonix 28th January approx $500. * Will a partial subsidy be helpful? (Yes/No) Yes, it would be great even if you can just sponsor the hotel, I have put my name down for room sharing. * What will you accomplish by being at FUDCon? (Please be as specific as possible.) As an op on #fedora, I would appreciate the time getting to know the rest of the ops team in person, and finding out first-hand about new technologies and directions. I am also particularly interested in virtualization technologies, specifically KVM and KSM. I have done an amount of personal research with ZRAM, and would appreciate meeting some of the developers / maintainers of these components to discuss the direction and future of virt technology -- Ticket URL: <https://fedorahosted.org/fudcon-planning/ticket/41> fudcon-planning <http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon> FUDCon event planning

Lodging, which appears to be either a room at the Mission Palms or the Courtyard Tempe. I am not particular, but I will have my daughter with me, so sharing could be problematic. * If we cannot provide a full subsidy, will a partial subsidy be helpful? Yes. * What will you accomplish by being at FUDCon? As this is my first event of this nature, I don't know what I can accomplish. I know what I can offer -- that is, any discussion/session/panel around ambassador issues (i.e., mentoring, event management, etc.) -- but it's unclear how to make such a proposal. I'd like to think I'd take from this event a better understanding of the workings of Fedora and perhaps a slightly increased programming skill set. * 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 will be driving to Tempe. * Include any additional, relevant information. None, really. -- Ticket URL: <https://fedorahosted.org/fudcon-planning/ticket/20> fudcon-planning <http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon> FUDCon event planning

#56: Need some instructions for people getting subsidized as to how that process works -------------------------------+-------------------------------------------- Reporter: rbergero | Owner: pfrields, jsmith Type: Task | Status: new Priority: blocker | Milestone: Tempe 2011: wiki complete Component: FUDCon Tempe 2011 | Keywords: -------------------------------+-------------------------------------------- I got a question from one of our awesome attendees on "how to book your hotel when you are getting a subsidy." I wasn't sure of the answer. If you are getting your hotel subsidized, who books the hotel? How does payment work out? How does this work when you have a roommate? I think it would be helpful to have this information somewhere on the wiki for (a) hotel subsidies, and (b) airline tickets. Maybe some information about the timeline, if they pay for it themselves when they should expect to be reimbursed, etc. -- Ticket URL: <https://fedorahosted.org/fudcon-planning/ticket/56> fudcon-planning <http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon> FUDCon event planning

Hi FUDCon Tempe planners, please help keep things moving briskly by doing two things: * Visit and update your open tickets: https://fedorahosted.org/fudcon-planning/report/4 Even if there's nothing new to report, it's OK to note that in the ticket -- you can include an ETA for more info if it's on the way. * Take care of action items from the last meeting: http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fudcon-planning/2010-09-20/fudcon_tempe_pl… I'm trying to practice what I preach -- I have two of three action items outstanding, which I'm going to work on right now.

All approved non-US flights booked!
by Paul W. Frields 24 Sep '10

24 Sep '10

Little milestone has now been reached -- all the previously approved, non-US airfares have been booked for FUDCon Tempe. I just finished the last one which had been hanging around for a few days. Yay! There are still some pending requests: * Airfares for people in the US. Jared is taking care of booking these. * Requests opened that didn't make our funds cutoff. Max, Jared and I will be sorting out the remaining Comm-Arch funds for premier Fedora events after a few outstanding invoices are accounted for. Once that's done, we will *probably* be able to free up some more travel subsidy money. It may not happen for a few weeks, so please be patient while we sort the money out. -- Paul W.

Video Streaming
by Bert Desmet 20 Sep '10

20 Sep '10

During FUDcon EMEA this weekend we had a barcamp about streaming the event. We all agreed on using Flumotion as streaming system. Why? * Peter Robinson works for a company who is a partner of Flumotion * The CTO of flumotion is still active in the belgium community (although he lives in Spain now), so I can probably ask him for $favour, if needed. * GUADEC used flumotion too, and were very very happy about the result (and they got the support for free) So, what I would propose: * start a project on the FUDcon page (or a link to the project) where people can find information about the progress of the project (we need a streaming server, appliances to connect cameras too, cameras, camera people, ...) let me know what you think, because we should get working on it.

by Paul W. Frields 20 Sep '10

20 Sep '10

I noticed that having multiple owners in Trac simply doesn't work. "joe, john, susie" as an owner is the same as no owner since there's no single username like that. I changed the defaults for Tempe 2011 to default to jsmith but we can reassign as needed. By the way, if you're looking for "What are my pending tickets?" you can use this report: https://fedorahosted.org/fudcon-planning/report/4 Paul

FUDCon Tempe - Legal side track
by Robyn Bergeron 15 Sep '10

15 Sep '10

Paul mentioned that we could talk about some legal education-type stuff at FUDCon. For those who are interested in pursuing it further, ASU does have a good law school, and also has an Intellectual Property program. http://www.law.asu.edu/lsi/CenterforLawScienceInnovation/AcademicPrograms/I… There is also a "tech services venture program" that might be of interest. Law students participate in this along with students from other colleges; law students participate in things like "licensing strategies" and so that might be another group who would be interested. http://www.law.asu.edu/tvg That said, I'm swamped so if someone else is interested in pursuing the Legal Fun angle, please pipe up! :) -Robyn

Yes''' * No. I can only afford my daily meals. '''What will you accomplish by being at FUDCon? (Please be as specific as possible.)''' * ''As a FAmSCo member'': I will have a unique opportunity to meet other FAmSCo members and share with them experiences from all our regions. Also, this will be an excellent occasion to make a smoother work flow and improve more the work that we have been doing this year. As each of us handle different topics we can create a schedule to handle those problems that most of the times we can solve in our meetings or mail list. * ''As Mentor'': I will be able to meet other mentors and have (maybe) a small workshop to improve the way that we guide and teach new ambassadors to spread Fedora. * ''As Ambassador'': Meet ambassadors from other countries can help me to get impressions of the work that is being done by other teams. Share experiences and create a small guide with tips from different regions can help us to provide to new ambassadors/users/developers a better resume of what Fedora is and is trying to do in the world. * ''As Designer'': afaik, Mairin Duffy will be at FUDcon Tempe. This will be an opportunity to work personally with her at topics like: Fedora 15 mockups and design, Fedora Social Network GUI, Education-Design-Security- others Spin Artwork and community websites. Also, as we have been working together for a while on Marketing items, we can have time to list ideas to improve the way to provide artwork to all different events held in the world. * ''As Marketing'': After work for >3 years doing events with 100<>3000 attendants, I will have an opportunity to improve the process that we actually follow and provide to our community a detailed -hand-book- to release at events around the world. I think that is important to have a pdf that people can download and read calm before start to fill wiki, ask for budget and other tasks. Also, this hand-book can teach how to ask for budget to other companies and increase the local sponsors quantity to help local teams without ask foreign founds all the time. Even so, this will teach them that events, can be done without founds too. Also, as I will help with FUDcon LATAM 2011, will be an excellent opportunity to learn more about how is organized outside LATAM and bring new ideas to our region. * ''As Infra'': After talk for several weeks, get together design- marketing-infra teams, will help us to start developing Fedora Social Network [2]; which is a main project that, even if probably take a long term, will be the next step to handle community regular task at Fedora. * ''As User'': Being so much at IRC, Mail List, Wiki and project; have an opportunity to meet that people who you work for more than 4 years is something that excite anyone. Also, use for over 5 years the same OS and be able to spread your ideas, projects and clarify your doubts is something that any contributor want to do.

Ticket updates and transparency
by Paul W. Frields 15 Sep '10

15 Sep '10

I've started being more cognizant of ticket assignments in the Trac instance, and making sure the right tickets are assigned to the right people. If you are dealing with some FUDCon issue that involves other contributors, please make sure they're kept informed by cc'ing them on relevant tickets. I've had one instance come up recently where a contributor wasn't aware of an issue affecting him. The whole point of having open planning is to keep people looped in. IRC messages and private email are not effective at keeping everyone in the loop. (They're acceptable when there's private information that needs to be communicated, though, like personal information.) If what I'm doing affects anyone other than me and the person I'm talking to, chances are excellent it needs to be on the list or in a ticket, and specifically I should be making sure that affected people are cc'd. It occurs to me this is probably good advice in all parts of the Fedora Project, but specifically I'm concerned that we ensure FUDCon is planned and executed as transparently as possible. That's not just to make our jobs easier, but also to set a pace for the next FUDCon (outside North America), where we expect the planners to do the same thing in the future. Paul

Prospectus and Sponsorship Documents for FUDCon Tempe 2011
by Clint Savage 14 Sep '10

14 Sep '10

As promised, I am sending an email with a couple requests for information regarding both venue and operational information and corporate sponsorships for FUDCon Tempe 2011 I've created both the prospectus[0] and sponsorship[1] documents on the wiki and provided links below. In addition, I've written a short description of the goals of both of these documents on the logistics page[2]. However, I'll include those descriptions here for clarity. Prospectus The goal of the prospectus document is to provide a sense of the conference to potential sponsors and vendors who might be providing services. This allows them to see if the conference is something that fits in line with their normal vision of what they sponsor. This document also provides information about the event, venue, number and type of people who attend the conference. Sponsorship The goal of the sponsorship document is to provide a basic set of sponsorships available at FUDCon Tempe 2011. However, these are just guidelines and if a sponsor wishes to provide services not listed, other sponsorships can and should be accommodated. The representative should use their best judgment to cover the needs of the conference first and the sponsors interest second. The focus of these documents is *not* to provide granular detail, but rather to help the potential sponsor(s) with making decisions. We want them to sponsor our conference, not read a dissertation on why FUDCon is awesome. I've done a bit of that here, but am hoping we can have a more focused statements as I've written in the documents below. I'd like to get the documents complete before our next meeting so if you could make edits or comment to this thread, it would be much appreciated. Cheers, Clint 0 - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon:Tempe_2011_prospectus 1 - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon:Tempe_2011_sponsorships 2 - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon:Tempe_2011_logistics

Session suggestions
by inode0 14 Sep '10

14 Sep '10

Every year I come to FUDCon I wish there were three particular sessions, so I thought I'd just suggest them this year. I don't really know where to suggest them so I'll start here. As we continue growing and as FUDCon itself continues growing I would like to see one or more invited talks designed to inspire contributors. Michael Tiemann jumps out to me as the perfect candidate for giving such a talk, a view of things that we are part of but from a perspective we don't see things from. Maybe think of this as an opening keynote with the goal of setting a good tone for the rest of the event. I think a session/talk about the history of Fedora would be wonderful for a large number of contributors who haven't lived through it all. Sharing where we came from and what the journey has been like so far helps us all understand who we are and that isn't a bad thing to understand when thinking about where we want to go. It would just be delightful I think on its own. This might make a really fun panel with folks like Greg, Max, Seth, Spot, etc. Or just a talk going through how the Fedora Project has evolved by any of them would be cool. The last is something of a Red Hat Enterprise Linux feedback session. Are we still executing the original vision of providing rapid innovation to advance RHEL? Are there areas of the OS where we are coming up short? Generally, I would like some feedback from someone, oh hey, Tim Burke is already registered, about how well we are fulfilling that part of our mission and what areas need more work. I'd really like to see the symbiotic relationship between RHEL and Fedora be discussed more directly. There is my wish list ... John

OK, fellow planners -- I asked about the suitability of the extra king suite as a social area (for the hack suite). The response makes me think we'd be better off paying the same amount ($200/night) for the meeting room we already reserved for Friday night. We could even take the meeting room for Friday through Monday nights, to accommodate hackers who are leaving on Tuesday 2/1. Opinions? -- Paul W. Frields. . . . RHEL Dept.

Proposal for FUDcon LATAM 2011: Foz do Iguaçu - Brazil
by Igor Pires Soares 13 Sep '10

13 Sep '10

Hello all! I am glad to present here one more proposal [1] for the next FUDCon LATAM. Foz do Iguaçu is a strategical city placed in the border between Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay. This region is known as The Triple Frontier. The proposers believe that this characteristic is essential to represent the diversity of the Latin American community. Considering this proposal, FUDCon would be held inside Latinoware, a well known Open Source event in LATAM that takes place in the Itaipu Power Plant. Latinoware usually happens in October or November what give us plenty of time to prepare the event although it is a bit distant of the last FUDCon. Latinoware also hosted a GNOME Forum in 2007 and many Fedora Ambassadors got together in Latinoware in the past four years. Certainly is a event that would draw a lot of attention to FUDCon. We hope to be contributing with another high quality proposal in addition to the great Panamá BID.

get in contact with attendees

Hi all. I wonder what's the best way to get in contact with all FUDCon XYZ attendees? The wiki is one option but it's not guaranteed that it's really read. Should we perhaps set up a ML like fudcon-emea-zurich... where every attendee should subscribe too? Of course it could be deleted about 3 month after the event or so. -- Greets Marcus

Reschedule Monday meeting to Tuesday?
by Paul W. Frields 03 Sep '10

03 Sep '10

Can I get a show of hands: Who would attend our FUDCon Tempe planning meeting if was held precisely 24 hours later? That means Tuesday, 2010-09-07 at UTC 1900 (3pm EDT/12pm PDT). I'd prefer to do that rather than eat into the US holiday, since I imagine lots of people have plans during that time. We do have some more subsidies to cover, but 24 hours shouldn't be too much delay for anything on the agenda. -- Paul W.
