Hi all,
FUDCon APAC 2014 was held on last weekends, and the feedback I get so
far is quite positive. I would like to thank everyone (volunteers,
speakers, sponsors, and attendees) who help to make it. I am so glad to
have you all join the event. Your contributions are appreciated very
much.
Although the main conference is over, there are still something to do at
the moment. So this email mainly serves as a reminder about the post
event todos.
- Budget. Thanks to generous sponsorship from local companies and
communities, and since a few sponsored speaker cannot come in the end,
it seems we now have some budget left. We think it might be a good
idea to raise the subsidy amount for our speakers, many of whom travel
a long way and make the event wonderful. We are going to have a
special IRC meeting for budget adjustment. Before that, speakers may
upload travel receipts, but please do not mark it as ready for
reimbursement.
- Reimbursement. Dear speakers and sponsored attendees, you need to
upload your receipts on fudcon-planning trac and post event reports on
Fedora Planet aggregated blog. Refer to the wiki pages [1][2] for more
information. Please add the links to your event reports to the FUDCon
wiki page too [3].
- Photos. As mentioned in previous email [4], everyone please share the
FUDCon photos you have taken, and post the links to the wiki page [5].
- Videos. We have recorded all the speeches in each room. Currently
volunteers are busy editing and converting the videos. Hopefully they
will be uploaded soon.
- Event Reports. We are working on the "official" news reports for the
event. Meanwhile we would like to see all kinds of event reports from
everyone. Sponsored speakers and attendees, please note event reports
are a must to get reimbursed.
- Slides. Dear speakers, please upload your slides and other supporting
materials online, and add the links to the wiki page [6].
- Feedback Survey. We will make a survey form to collect feedback
systematically. Stay tuned for the message about the survey link.
- Badge. We would like to award each FUDCon speaker / volunteer /
attendee a special Fedora Badge [7]. A ticket has been filed [8].
- Planning Doc. Dear organizing team fellows, it is time to use existing
information to refine our bidding / planning document! It will do
great good to the next round.

* What do you need covered? (Please estimate the costs in USD: hotel $X,
travel $Y.)
flight is 900 USD but, gnome will pay half, so I am asking for 450 USD
from Fedora. 3 nights conference hotel (240 USD). (Also, I'll get funding
for the flight from the Linux Foundation too, since I will visit Japan
prior to FUDCON, but I don't know the details yet, hence I am asking for
450 USD for the flight for now.
* If we cannot provide a full subsidy, will a partial subsidy be helpful?
(Yes/No?)
yeah.
* If Yes, specify the minimum amount you need covered to facilitate your
attendance.
A third of the 900 USD would be great for the flight.
* 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 am one of the creators of systemd which is one of the most core
components of Fedora. At this conference I would like to talk about that
and collect feedback in order to make sure that we deliver what people
want, and that the Fedora community can drive where things go.
* 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.
It's difficult at this point, given I lack the details for the funding for
Japan yet.
* Do you need a visa or other official processing before you can attend
FUDCon? If so, approximately how long does that processing take?
Yes, I need a visa for china, which should take a month to acquire,
according to the consular web site.
* Include any additional, relevant information.
