FUDPub

[Paul W. Frields]

Chris Tyler had a fantastic idea for FUDPub, which is Dave & Buster's,
apparently just a little ways across the street from the hotels we're
considering.  As I told him, normally I'm not a big fan of chains but
I make an exception for D&B.

The best comments we've ever had for people enjoying FUDPub came from
the Boston FUDPub this past January, which we held at the billiards
place a few blocks from MIT.  Having something to do other than hold a
drink and talk makes people *more* likely to socialize (go figure).
So a place full of the latest video and interactive games seems like a
hit to me.

If we can afford D&Bs, I'm all for it.  I've only been there once years
ago for a Christmas party but it was lots of fun.

There are a few pubs near D&Bs, if it is too pricey.

Students and FUDCon Promotion

[Chris Tyler]

We have Seneca CS faculty meetings coming up next week, and I will be
promoting FUDCon to the staff. However, I thought we should discuss the
extent to which we should promote the event to students. We have a *lot*
of students who are Fedora users (and, in some cases, contributors) --
all of the students in our CNS, CTY, and IFS programs install,
customize, and administer Fedora systems in a series of courses spanning
several semesters. I could bring 500 student Fedora users, but I don't
think that's what we want.

I will definitely be encouraging my SBR600 students to attend, because
they'll be plugged into the Fedora community in various ways. Where do I
draw the line on promoting to the other students?

Also, I'm meeting with our graphics people on Thursday regarding FSOSS
-- shall we put a FUDCon ad in the FSOSS program? If that sounds good,
could you (Paul or Mel) arrange for someone to lay out a B&W ad, 8.5"
wide by 5.5" tall, and send me the file? (I won't need the file by
Thursday, I'll just reserve the space, but the sooner the better).

Many thanks--
