ATT: Possibility of FUDCon in Malaysia or Singapore

[Mohd Izhar Firdaus Ismail]

Hi all,

As per the last Ambassadors APAC meeting, there are suggestions to do
a FUDCon in the SEA region. Several regional ambassadors seems to be
interested to do it at Malaysia or Singapore due to our location which
is practically the center of APAC.

http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-meeting/2011-03-19/apac.2011-03-19-0...

Therefore, I'm buzzing this mailing list to gather information on how
interested y'all to contribute your time in making a FUDCon Malaysia
happen. Take note that in order to do a FUDCon, we will need several
people to contribute A LOT OF time to lead, plan, organize, and drive
it.

In order to apply , the team will need to bid for the FUDCon :
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon_bid_process

Once a bid is successful, the team will need to organize it following
the schedule of the FUDCon organization process of which will use up
your time up to 15-25 hours per week and prepare a budget:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon_organization_process
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon_budget_template

This requires a lot of time and commitment, and if nobody want to take
the lead on this, I would prefer it be organized at the country where
its team have time and commitment for it. I personally able to help
out in planning and organizing, however I am not capable of leading it
due to other commitments, so somebody else will need to step forward
to lead it or just pass this chance to other country.

Regards

[Mohd Fazli Azran]

That a good news for us if FUDcon can be done at Malaysia. We have 12 people
as Ambassador Malaysia that might be can help to organize this. How about
others? :)

yep there are 12 ambassadors, however not all are available, fewer who
have time to organize it and waayy fewer who have time to lead it.

Question now, anybody want to take the lead? .. I can help organize
and do random works, but I dont have the capacity to lead due to other
commitments.

You want to take it? :P

The team needs 5 core person so that the load can be distribute among them.

Team lead - The one thats make the final call. Decision still need to
be discussion among core. Sub team can be :-

Website and printing - One person need to lead technically and design

Sponsor - One thats good in talking... Need to go out and meet with the sponsors

Speakers - One need to manage them

Marketing - Getting the participants.

Infra and tech support - A lot of things can happen.

for website and designs we can ask help from the fedora-websites and
fedora-artwork teams so this section need the least work. Most of the
time FUDCon site is on the Fedora wiki itself.

Yep we'll need someone to do the printings.

In FUDCon case, speakers are participants. What need to be managed are
the sponsored participants, not just speakers.

take note that FUDCon is meant to be free to attend, so marketing i
think would mean generating buzz and blogspam like crazy (lol) :-)

infra/tech/logistiek goes together.

[Seatux]

Ask Eric to lead, if he is still unemployed from the Novell buyover. Would
like to go in as part of the infra/tech team myself too.
If its happening, when is it going to happen?

so guys/gals

anybody want to step out to be a coordinator ? .. thats the primary
thing we need at the moment .. someone to organize the informations,
coordinate tasks, and *cough*cough*whipping slaves*cough*cough*assign
tasks, ensure tasks are done ..

Yesterday there was a meeting for Pycon APAC 2012 in Malaysia .. and
if there local fedora team willing to do the work to bid for FUDCon,
it might be a good idea to do FUDCon APAC right after / a few days
after PyCon ..
