[Test-Announce] FUDCon Blacksburg subsidies announcement, and general planning update.

[Robyn Bergeron]

Greetings everyone,

A few updates on the upcoming FUDCon in Blacksburg, VA in January 2012:

* We will be having our second subsidy meeting on Wednesday, November 
23rd.  This meeting will be for evaluating and processing any available 
subsidy monies for international attendees, as well as processing any 
new North America-based subsidy requests.  If you are requesting a 
subsidy, please ensure that your Trac ticket for requesting subsidies is 
complete, particularly and especially with detail to what you plan to 
accomplish / do while at FUDCon.  With more than ten international 
requests, and limited funding, it is especially important for the people 
attending the meeting to have a clear picture of your plans in order to 
make a decision on funding.

The subsidy meeting is open for anyone to attend.  Please feel free to 
participate, especially if you have requested funding, so that we may 
ask questions and get answers in a timely manner.  The meeting occurs 
this Wednesday (during the normal FUDCon planning meeting time) at 17:00 
UTC in #fedora-meeting on irc.freenode.net (9am Pacific, Noon Eastern).

For more information on applying for a subsidy, please read

appreciated.  Signing up on the fudcon-planning mailing list is a great
