APAC Fudcon Bids
by Robyn Bergeron 25 Feb '12

25 Feb '12

Hi folks, I just wanted to raise a flag here. In the FAmSCo meeting earlier this week it looks like there are a few action items for people to forward information or share information about the APAC bid recommendation. I have not yet seen any of that information come forward. The ticket is here: https://fedorahosted.org/famsco/ticket/258 The known bids are here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon:Bid_for_Philippines_2012 https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon:APAC_2012_Bid_Malaysia https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon:Bid_for_Beijing_2012 The period tentatively scheduled for the APAC FUDcon is March 1 - May 31. I have *incredibly huge* concerns at this point about the ability to successfully pull together planning details for a FUDCon in such a short time frame, particularly with details like international travel, visas and passports, etc., not to mention simply being able to arrange hosting space, hotel blocks, etc. There are also the additional efforts of going through the FUDCon subsidy process, purchasing airfare (which tends to be cheaper the further in advance it is purchased), etc. I think we all realize that FUDCons require a large amount of effort; additionally, they get a large amount of funding, and I know that we would all like to ensure that that money is well-used. If we can't come to a decision on the location within the next week, we may need to take under consideration the option of deferring the APAC FUDCon until Mar-May of 2013. I don't think this would be a huge loss, considering that we just had a FUDCon in Pune a few months ago. And while I don't want to disappoint the people who have been working on bids, I don't want us to wind up in a position where we are disappointing a large number of people who are investing their time in attending a FUDCon by putting on an event that we simply didn't have enough time to organize well, or disappoint the Fedora community by not wisely spending money. So, please: If there is information, or a recommendation, that needs to be passed to FAmSCo, please pass it along including any supporting logs, etc. *as soon as possible*, so that people can familiarize themselves with the details and be prepared to make a recommendation or decision. I'll be attending the FAmSCo meeting to get as much information as I can as well to make the final call. -Robyn

EMEA FUDCon 2012, French bid
by Kévin Raymond 23 Feb '12

23 Feb '12

Hi there, On behalf of the French community, I am very pleased to announce you that we are candidate for the 2012 EMEA FUDCon, the town chosen is… Paris! Our bid wiki page[1] is still in process, but at least we are on time, we want to avoid the beginning of January rush. All is not clear yet, because we want to make it happen with the Open World Forum ("Think. Code. Experiment."). Date and venue are set, but could change a bit. We need them to define that, but of course we have a rescue plan and we would be ready by the 11th of January. Even by reading the bid process wiki page[2], I still don't know the number of room to ask in the accommodation quotes. Could you please share your mind?
