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
