Hi all.
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon_bid_opening_announcement
Please edit or +1 here.
+1. Are there any examples of good bids from the past (or documents that would have gone into a bid, since we've never really done a bidding process)? Or even example bids from other events (non-Fedora ones, just for a first round until we have our own good examples)?
We have already set up a page containing the required information for FUDCon EMEA 2010. From our pov. there are still some things unclear. First of all: Who is going to take the decision? Is it the community, the board, the FPL or someone else?
As (at least for FUDCon EMEA 2010) we are quite late, a decision should be taken soon :)
According to the bid process: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon_bid_process
...regional Ambassador leadership is supposed to do a first pass on the bids to make sure it contains answers to their questions. The decision comes from the majority budget sponsors -- in other words, the people who are paying for the event to happen have to decide where to spend the money. In this case that would be the Community Architecture team, I'm assuming, so I'll get with Max to come to a decision here.
I think it would be helpful for us in the future to have bids on separate pages. Right now we have everything on one page, http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon_and_FAD_locations , and it's hard to tell which of the cities listed are serious bids and which are ideas that were just mentioned in passing some time ago. Just a logistics issue; I'll do some work to make the wiki sensible for future bid processes.
