#124: Funding request for Jesús Franco --------------------------------+------------------------------------------- Reporter: tezcatl | Owner: aeperezt Type: Funding request | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Panama 2011:Wiki Complete Component: FUDCon Panama 2011 | Keywords: --------------------------------+------------------------------------------- Tell us the following: * What do you need covered? (Please estimate the costs in USD: hotel $X, travel $Y) According to wiki page: Hotel Villages $80 USD (i can share room), Air travel $700 (with possible discount if Taca is available). * If we cannot provide a full subsidy, will a partial subsidy be helpful? (Yes/No) No :( * If Yes can you specify the minimum amount you would need covered to facilitate your attendance * What will you accomplish by being at FUDCon? (Please be as specific as possible, since this is the most important factor in granting requests.) {{{ * I want to promote the use of standard tools used by Fedora Documentation Project in order to: ** get more contributors to Documentation and Localization Project; ** support the effort steered by Guillermo Gómez to recruit more writers of formal documentation from Latin América; ** share the experience of learning on Docs Project, and how we can apply that to our local communities (i'm using Docbook/git & Projects management tools in a local outreach effort); ** engage more writers to Fedora Latam Magazine, with the fun of workflows learned in Documentation Project. * I have promoted an initiative to let Fedora contributors share knowledge between them and toward users of Fedora, based in the idea of Fedora Classroom, but with a more expanded experience through the use of Moodle. ATM, moodle.proyectofedora.org is a Moodle instance to support this idea, but no much advance has been done. I want to meet with another contributors interested in this subproject in order to advance the planning and vision of this initiative. }}} * 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 have not done any queries about specific flights at this moment. * Do you need a visa or other official processing before you can attend FUDCon? If so, approximately how long does that processing take? Panamá doesn't requieres Visa for Mexican citizens. * Include any additional, relevant information. This would be my first FUDCon, if no funding is available, i'd like to support streaming or remote talks efforts. -- Ticket URL: <https://fedorahosted.org/fudcon-planning/ticket/124> fudcon-planning <http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon> FUDCon event planning

Bid for FUDCon EMEA 2011
by Fabian Affolter 13 Mar '11

13 Mar '11

Hi all, The bid process for FUDCon EMEA was opened a while ago and so far there are no bids for EMEA. During our ride home from FOSDEM Gerold and I started to think and talk about the FUDCon EMEA 2011 and this bid. Now we sorted your own thoughts and placed a bid for Dublin [1]. Actually this bid violates some rules/purposes of the FUDCon Bid process [2]. That's the reason why the bid page is not complete at this point in time. We do not want to spent to much time in evaluating things till we all can agree/disagree that this unusual bid has a chance. Why is Dublin suggested by two guys who live far away from Ireland you may ask yourself? Because the Red Hat Partner Summit 2011 [3] will be at Dublin. And we want to held the FUDCon right before Red Hat Partner Summit. Gerold and I see some advantages if the Red Hat Partner Summit and the FUDCon are close together. So, FUDCon will be organized by Red Hat? Not at all, we think more of cooperation to share resources/costs for those two important events in the Red Hat/Fedora ecosystem in EMEA. We would like to hear your thoughts and objections about this. Thanks in advance. Kind regards, Fabian [1] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon:Bid_for_Dublin_2011 [2] https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon_bid_process [3] http://www.europe.redhat.com/mktg/partnersummit/2011/

FUDCon NA Draft Incoming: Olin 2012
by Sebastian Dziallas 28 Feb '11

28 Feb '11

Hi all, Just a quick heads-up that we're preparing a bid for FUDCon NA 2012 here at Olin College in Needham, MA (with proximity to Boston). This is a first draft - which is why I didn't say "bid" in the subject line - and we're still poking things on all sides, so don't expect anything perfect at this point in time. Feedback and filling-in-of-gaps-on-wiki-page are very much welcome, though: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon:Bid_for_Olin_2012 Thanks, --Sebastian

budget for premier fedora events
by Max Spevack 22 Feb '11

22 Feb '11

Hi everyone, Part of the small role that I play in the larger and global FUDCon and FAD planning process is to make sure that we have sufficient budget for FUDCons and FADs, and to make sure that budget is well-allocated. We've just finished up one fiscal year (from Red Hat's point of view) and we're getting started on another. It's worth taking a moment for us to look at how much money we spent on FUDCons last year, and what our plans are for the coming year. * $33,300 -- FUDCon Tempe 2011 * $25,465 -- FUDCon Santiago 2010 * $22,020 -- FUDCon Zurich 2010 * $1,605 -- FUDCon Panama 2011 That's about $82k spent for FUDCons. * $5,340 -- Fedora Ambassador Day North America 2010 * $1,645 -- FAD EMEA 2010 * $1,530 -- Marketing FAD 2010 * $1,300 -- FAD Pune 2010 * $460 -- Etherpad FAD * $315 -- FAD FOSDEM 2011 That's about $10k spent on FADs. All data from https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Accounting === This coming fiscal year (March 2011 - February 2012), we have $90k set aside for FUDCons and FADs. The key difference is that it is our goal to hold *four* FUDCons and not *three* in the coming fiscal year: Panama, EMEA, NA, India. In order to still set aside about $10k for FADs, that means we need to be pretty good about planning all of our FUDCons to fit into a total budget of $80K USD. In order for that to work, we need to be fair with the distribution of the budget, and also take into account the strength of the dollar in different regions of the world. As a general rule of thumb, I'm thinking that FUDCon organizers should consider this breakdown: NA -- $25k USD or lower EMEA -- depends on the location of FUDCon. In the Euro area, $25k or lower. Outside of the Euro area, hopefully we could do a FUDCon for $20k or lower. Panama -- $15k USD - $20k USD, hopefully a bit closer to $15k. Is there an easy place where we can currently see the budget plans for this FUDCon? India -- same as Panama. Thoughts and comments? Thanks, Max
