Let's work from those pages, and especially on the planning page, start to get owners.
I'll handle some larger communications to fedora-announce-list, internal Red Hatters in EMEA, etc.

I also sent some heads-up to the internal lists that include team managers and other parts of Red Hat Engineering. I've previously advised them about the Q3 timing and the probability of Zurich, and I'm happy to see things moving forward!
Our team has travel budget for this event. Whether that is me as the former FPL, or the next (and likely "current," by then) FPL, someone will be attending from the Fedora team.

Since we're all on that team, *obviously* someone of the Fedora team will attend :(

In this context, Paul meant someone from the Fedora Engineering dept at Red Hat.

Hi Orga,
it's up to you, now ... ... maybe I can "organise" a talk from and with Ralf Spenneberg [1] either for FROSCamp and/or also for FUDCON, if there is a wish (for having him as speaker).
Private note: If not, he will attend FUDCON (as a "special guest" of mine). He knows about the date and has confirmed.
Regards Gerold

That would be great. Had some nice business relations with him, in the past.
Best Regards Marcus

As Marcus said, Ralf would be very welcome. Any speaker giving any (topic related) talk is very welcome. The Call for Papers for FrOSCamp is open and everyone is invited to submit talks (or workshops) on the FrOSCamp website/wiki. As for FUDCon we'll set up the wiki for the talks soon. It's the speaker's decision whether he wants to submit his talk for FUDCon or FrOSCamp.
In the end, there'll be one big talk agenda showing the talks of both events, just that some rooms feature Fedora-related topics only (i.e. are Fedora dedicated) and the other rooms feature non-Fedora-related talks (only). It's all in the same building and we encourage working together with other communities (e.g. other distributions or upstream projects).

I've got no idea what you mean by a "special guest" but just to make this clear: everyone can attend FUDCon and FrOSCamp, both events are open to the general public and entrance is free. The only reason to pre-register is to get the FUDCon t-shirt. No need to be the guest of anyone or to particularly be invited.

Yes, FUDCon is open to anyone. The point of a 'special guest' of any kind is something that we can emphasize and market. One of the issues we have with the split between the NA and EUR FUDCons is that we have a number of 'implicit special guests', namely the people who work for Red Hat in NA directly on Fedora. Since alot of future planning is done there more than European FUDCons, there is a special draw to it. While i'm no fan of the celebrity culture we live in, inviting special guests for marketing reasons is a great way to even out the balance a little.

Hi Sandro,
I don't know what you try to interprete in my brackets. Just to clarify it for you and everybody else: I wrote it in quotes and it was related to me and not -if you can see- it to the FUDCON himself. Maybe as background: I have business related and private friendship related contact (since years) with Ralf and because of that issue we are able combine it for that event. It's just an offer, right? You got it now?
So please calm down and don't search things where never will be something :-)
I love you all
Gerold

Nothing, as I said 'no idea' what you meant.
Just wanted to make sure that those points are clearly understood by everyone in case there was a misunderstanding that people have to be Fedora-members or have to be invited as guests in order to attend FUDCon/FrOSCamp.
So please calm down and don't search things where never will be something :-)
Perfectly calm (actually, after just returning from 3 weeks of holidays yesterday evening I couldn't be any calmer). It's only that I learned that sometimes it's better to explain something that seems obvious to me because for some people it sometimes isn't that obvious which then again leads to problems. I think this has lately be proven on the ambassadors list in a FUDCon related thread.

Sorry, that was a failure on my part to be very explicit. We're all part of the Fedora team! I was speaking specifically about the group of people Red Hat pays to work on Fedora, because I think it's important that Red Hat show support for this EMEA event by paying to send someone from that USA-based group as well. Judging by the email I've seen over the last two years from EMEA based Fedora folks, that's important to other community members too.
Dear Paul,

I would be happy to see you here as well as the next FPL (if elected till then).
Maybe you could do something like a resume talk followed by a visionary talk of the new FPL.
Best Regards Marcus

Great :)

We'd be happy to have you both, the former and the current FPL :) We imagine seeing one talk regarding what it has been like to be the FPL in the past years (what's been done, what were the biggest issues/successes/etc) and another talk providing an outlook for the next some years and the new FPL's plans. Or whatever else you guys would like to talk about of course...just thinking aloud :)
