We have the tentative budget approval to organize a FUDCon in India
as
part of the foss.in conference in Bangalore. Since last few FUDCon's
have been successfully conducted in Barcamp style, we might follow it if
we have the infrastructure and approval from event organizers. I have
add some preliminary details to
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon/FUDConIndia2008
Caveat: The FUDCon at foss.in2008 is subject to the organizers agree-ing
to such a proposal.
Having said that, it would be nice:
[1] to start a discussion on this list and, once there are emerging
agenda points to
[2] hold an IRC meeting on this
A preliminary set of discussion points could be around:
o why do we want to do a FUDCon at foss.in
o who is our audience
o how do we determine the success of FUDCon(a)foss.in
o what lessons do we have from Project Day last year
o what 'activities' do we intend to do

ps:
On a personal note, I'd love to see less emphasis on talks and more
emphasis on 'doing things' ie actual hunkering down on desktops|laptops,
whiteboards and coming up with stuff that can be translated into action
points.
Such stuff could be a mundane 'creating a spin' or 'packaging a random
application for EPEL' or, creating artwork for the Fedora India
