Bid process for FUDCon EMEA 2010

[Marcus Moeller]

Hi all,

could we please start the bid process for the upcoming FUDCon EMEA 2010?

Best Regards
Marcus

[Radek Vokal]

Hi folks, I'm new in this process (and just subscribed) but I'd like to 
offer Brno again for next FUDCon EMEA event. Those who has been here two 
years ago already know the place, for the rest of you - we have a very 
good connection with local university - faculty of informatics that 
allows us to do this kind of event for pretty much nothing. 
(www.fi.muni.cz). I can provide some cost estimations for lodging and 
other stuff, most of that can be found on the old FUDCon Brno page.

In the autumn we did a similar type of event at uni, we called that 
Developer Conference and we wanted to me more technical and less 
general. The topics the we've covered were quite interesting ( 
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/DeveloperConference2009 ). I'd like to 
bring some of these folks to FUDCon so they can talk to larger audience 
about their pet projects.

What do you think? Do you need me to provide more info about anything? 
Let me know.

Radek

We would like to bring FUDCon to Zurich. There is already a lot of
useful information on the wiki:

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon_and_FAD_locations#Zurich

The event could be combinded with a 'happening' called FrOSCamp
(http://froscamp.org) and dated on 2010-09-17/18/19.

As we got the conference rooms for free, money could be spend on
accommodation or social event(s).

Best Regards
Marcus

Marcus,

for 150 / 200 people in total; Have you made a total calculation for
Zürich?

Gerold

We are currently working on a cost calculation. An idea would be to
rent (nearly) the complete youth hostel for that weekend.

There is cheap and good food available in the university cafeteria (at
least on Friday) and some near restaurants and takeaways which aren't
that expensive.

Marcus

I guess the price is not the biggest problem, but availability:

2010-02-15:
27 beds at 17th September / 62 beds at 18th September.

So we could only manage a mid sized FAD this year. If we really want
to do a FUDCon in Zurich one day, booking has to be done about 12
month before.

Marcus

I'd invite anyone who's interested in making a proposal for a FUDCon
to look at the documentation recently created at the Events FAD:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon_organization_process
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon_bid_process

There's a detailed breakdown on the latter page of all the information
needed.

Thanks for pointing that out. I have already talked to Max about it
and edited the wiki section accordingly:

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon_and_FAD_locations#Zurich

We also managed to find an alternative (not that expensive)
accommodation which has some more rooms available on the planned date:

http://www.accorhotels.com/gb/hotel-3184-etap-hotel-etap-hotel-zurich-city-w...

It is still unclear if we should create a calculation for Comarch
Budget AND the possible costs for visitors not covered by the budget?

Hi all.

We now got a good hotel offer in Zurich:

http://www.ibishotel.com/de/hotel-2980-ibis-zurich-messe-airport/index.shtml

which is 100$ for a douple room/night. They have rooms available for
all attendees  .

As we fulfil all parts of the bid process I wonder when the decision
is made (which is very important for further planning).

Best Regards
Marcus

Marcus,

Is there a wiki page where you are collecting all the bid information
as described on https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon_bid_process ?

Marcus and I will also add the additional information that is
requested for the bid process and is still missing. Hopefully by
tomorrow.
