#378: Funding request for Kévin Raymond (shaiton) -------------------------+------------------------------------------------- Reporter: shaiton | Owner: ianweller Type: Funding | Status: new request | Milestone: Security FAD: Travel Purchase Priority: normal | Requests Component: FUDCon | Keywords: Lawrence 2013 | Blocking: Blocked By: | -------------------------+------------------------------------------------- Tell us the following:
* What do you need covered? (Please estimate the costs in USD: hotel $X, travel $Y.)
Having my travel (around 1000USD) covered and part of the hotel (238USD, which is 4nights with a roomate) would be great.
* If we cannot provide a full subsidy, will a partial subsidy be helpful? (Yes/No?)
Yes
* If Yes, specify the minimum amount you need covered to facilitate your attendance.
At least the plane ticket.
* 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 taking part on a wide contribution area. I am active as a translator (coordinator), an ambassador, a websites maintainer, a doc publisher.. And I really want to join the ARM effort, will soon.
Therefore, while at the FUDCon I will be able to join many groups, work on several subjects and get many things done. I have been the main websites maintainer for several releases now, and still have many huge changes to do on the building side, and I hope to be able to meet people from the infra and the websites teams there.
* 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.
I will leave the 16th from Paris and return the 21 to Paris, France. The flight search is [http://www.orbitz.com/shop/airsearch?type=air&ar.type=roundTrip&ar.r... | here] and the requested one is the cheapest:
fligth costs $989.39, Lufthansa 9334 − United Airlines 6443; United Airlines 5644 − Lufthansa 9335
* Do you need a visa or other official processing before you can attend FUDCon? If so, approximately how long does that processing take?
Will need to register, it's easy and I will handle the fees.
* Include any additional, relevant information.
Yeah, I am from the EMEA region. But I think it is important for our community to understand how work other regions, and getting to know better people is always good.

Hi Kevin,
Can you be more specific about the tasks you're wanting to accomplish - you mention that there are "several subjects" and "changes to do on the building side" but we'd like to make sure they are actually do-able at FUDCon - that the appropriate people will be there, specific items planned, etc. Let us know in the ticket so we can move forward! Thanks!

Hi,
There is nothing really that can't be made on remote. However, hacking with contributors aside is way faster than pushing commits, asking for review, looking for the right people that might have the right info...
What I really want to fix is https://fedorahosted.org/fedora- websites/ticket/90 (and BZ#878698), 125, 136 (which will resolve 80). Finally will also love to resolve 137. But this will appear next, don't planned at that time.
Those tickets will let us have quality websites nicely managed. Actually it's crap. Way better than a year ago, but we have to do something. The biggest problem is that no-one but ME knows what have to be done, and how. Oh, even me forget how it works sometimes.. We have got few people that could find the info, or remember, but it's not how we manage FOSS projects. There are docs. But incomplete docs. Hopefully, we have now robyduck who have the info. But simple process leads to less errors and easy contribution (actually I hate to ask people to contribute as we have a fuzzy architecture).
As told at start, it's not something that is not doable on remote. However, we started that at FUDCon Paris with Tomáš Raděj. We got many great ideas. It was more productive than working alone. We have to move forward of course. I would love to have that done by that time, but since my computers are still broken it is moving slowly.
Depending on the need, I could also join the work on the dual authentication layer for our infra. I am also really involved on the ambassadora/mentoring, but always stuck between the contribution teams, many interesting projects are active and my participation depends on the actual priority (that I could consider).
So in short, I don't *need* to be there, but I am sure that it will help moving forward.

In short, by being there I will:
* Present the Fedora Websites and try to get more people interesting in contributing to them. * Fix some critical tickets that will greatly improve the management of the websites, and help gather fresh blood. Then updating the docs.
I would like to coordinate this with Kevin (nirik), Sijis, Ian and other people based on the US and hopefully coming to FUDCon. It is really involving infra here, and getting closer to the infra team will help to redesign things on the right way, the first time.

This item is definitely +1 from me (if anybody will count my vote ;-) and as Kévin is the only person able to do it...

This is now booked. I wound up getting the original flight that you listed (Lufthansa 9334 − United Airlines 6443; United Airlines 5644 − Lufthansa 9335) as it was about $200 less than the Delta flights you listed.
Total final cost for flights was $872.19. I have forwarded the confirmation from Orbitz to your fp.o mail address.
Let me know if you have questions or anything looks wrong. Thanks!
