Hi,
during FrOSCon 2011 I did a small talk about Func and how it is being used
at Booking.com, a fast growing hotel website with a four digit number of
servers all running pure open source software. This was a very impromptu
talk as the original speaker had to decline on short notice.
The content however was very well received and people suggested, that I
should flesh this out a bit and maybe repeat this at the India FudCon.
As FrOSCon only was very recently, I apologize for the late sponsorship
request.
My aims for this FudCon would therefore be to
* Promote Func as it is indeed a wonderful tool for controlling more than
one machine
* Host a hacksession on Func.
There are some features (e.g. delegation) which are _very_ rough in Func.
We (at Booking) have a quickly hacked up version of func which actually
fixes many issues we see in a large scale environment with timeouts etc.
Polishing it and submitting/applying it upstream would definitly be worth
it.
Of there is some interest, I am also happy to host a session talking about
Fedora/CentOS/RHEL in a larger scale environment, what challenges/issues
we face, how we solved them, what kind of best practices we found etc.
* What do you need covered? Hotel 200USD, Flight 1300USD seems to be
what's available on the market. Departure airport would be Amsterdam. I
only did a quick search as Jared stressed I should get this ticket in
quickly. Will do a more exhaustive search later.
* If we cannot provide a full subsidy, will a partial subsidy be helpful?
Yes, I'll take whatever I can and then see if it works out.
* What will you accomplish by being at FUDCon? Please see above.
* Do you need a visa or other official processing before you can attend
FUDCon? Visa applications by European citizens seem to be processed in
less than a month.
If you have any further questions, please do not hestitate to ask me
either via mail or on IRC. The nick is ixs.
cheers,
andreas

I would love to gather with the Design and Marketing team again, and have
a meeting to get come of guidance for Southamerica improovements. Also I
would love to spread what I know and what I have done with this 2 teams

like to have a p2p meeting with design folks and keep working on Fedora
style like we have been doing for the past 2 releases at FUDcons. [[BR]]
Also, I would be organizing next FUDcon at my country, so I think that
have a meeting with Ben and his crew could provide me better guidance to
our LATAM FUDcon.

1 - Hackfest to produce a smooth election process and support
documentation. Let's stop making this stuff up as we go each and every
election. Based on my experiences participating in Fedora elections is
various capacities I will bring a detailed draft proposal to use as a
starting point. Goals include a "perpetual" election schedule, better
processes and guidance for conducting questionnaires and town hall events,
and community oversight of the entire election process. The final product
of this hackfest will be presented to the community for consideration
following FUDCon.
2 - FamNA hackfest to discuss changes that have occurred related to
expense processing and planning for the coming year in terms of ambassador
engagement, swag procurement, event planning, and other topics of interest
to FamNA members.
3 - Barcamp proposal titled "I, Fedora." What can the Fedora Project learn
from the life of a pencil? Or more mundanely how libertarian economic
principles can form the basis for a slightly different Fedora community
understanding.
* If you are requesting airfare, include complete flight information such
