> Unfortunately I wasn't able to be in this meeting, but after reading
> the logs Alejandro kindly send to this list I noticed some snide
> commentaries about the FAD we had here in Sao Paulo last June, and I
> have some few words about it to share about it.
>
> 1- Why did we call it as "FAD"?
>
> Because in the very beginning our plan was to organize
> QA/Packaging/Translation sessions during a day, what people in this
> project usually call as "Fedora Activity Day" or just FAD.
>
> 2- Where is the event planing tasks?
>
> All information about the event is described in detail in the wiki bellow:
>
> https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FAD_SP_2013
>
> 3- What did happen actually?
>
> Some people (including speakers and folks who would coordinate the
> sessions mentioned in #1) weren't able to show up in the day and
> instead cancelling everything we decided do it anyway so people could
> meet. I presented a keynote about collaboration and how to get engaged
> to the project, Sergio Durigan presented an awesome talk about GDB
> Project explaining a how it works and how Fedora contributes to it
> (and many other upstream projects!!), Itamar presented a funny session
> on how to roll your own RPM and in the remaining time we talked about
> several ideas and future events like FISL and Latinoware as well
> initiatives to foster Fedora and Open Source in this side of the
> planet.
>
> 4- What was the "deliverable"?
>
> Let me see... We didn't test anything, we didn't translate a single
> world and the only package created was a "Hello World!!" from Itamar.
> The greatest thing about this event was having around 15 people during
> an entire Saturday talking about Fedora. Besides all friends we had
> the opportunity to meet Hugo Cisneiros (or just "Eitch", as the old
> Fedora fellows know him), and also to knew great guys like Itamar,
> German (Skytux) and Claudio Penásio.
>
> 5- How much money from the project did you spend?!
>
> Itamar paid his tickets from Uberlandia to Sao Paulo (over 10 hours by
> bus) and I paid the delicious sandwiches we had for lunch. Although
> the wiki has some budget information Fedora didn't spend a penny in
> our meeting.
>
> 6- Bu-bu-But...
>
> I know. If you follow religiously the guidelines in the wiki it was
> not a FAD but we did the best we could and had a fucking great time!!
>
> 7- Last words?
>
> Get a life dude. Seriously.
>
What that addressed to me?
