; Proximity
; Proximity
: The Four Points Sheraton Tempe is within walking distance (2 miles) of the Brickyard Artisan Court building, the primary hotel (Courtyard Marriott Tempe), and Mill Avenue.
; Transportation
: The Four Points Sheraton Tempe provides airport shuttle, as well as shuttle to events on ASU campus.  The shuttle is first-come, first-served; if you are depending on the shuttle to go places, be sure to ask at the front desk ahead of time.
: The City of Tempe also has free, local bus routes.  The [http://www.valleymetro.org/bus_schedules/bus_routes/PDF/MERC.pdf Orbit Mercury] bus line travels from approximately 1 block from the Sheraton, and has stops near ASU Memorial Union, the ASU Brickyard Engineering and Artisan Court buildings, and is approximately 2 blocks from the Courtyard Marriott.

The hotel features a complimentary airport shuttle.  Please call the hotel at +1 (480) 966-2800 to make a shuttle inquiry if needed.
The hotel features a complimentary airport shuttle.  Please call the hotel at +1 (480) 966-2800 (if staying at the Courtyard) or +1 (480)968-3451 (if staying at the Sheraton) to make a shuttle inquiry if needed.


'''Note:''' There is no toll-free courtesy phone at the PHX airport for this shuttle.  You must either place a call from a cell phone or toll phone at the airport, or you may call in advance.  The hotel accepts reservations for the shuttle many days in advance.  ''International visitors may wish to place their request for the shuttle a few days before travel.''
'''Note:''' There is no toll-free courtesy phone at the PHX airport for this shuttle.  You must either place a call from a cell phone or toll phone at the airport, or you may visit the Information Desk and have them call the Courtyard Tempe Downtown for shuttle service.  '''Correction:''' The shuttle cannot take advance bookings in most cases because they are unable to wait at passenger pickup due to airport traffic and safety regulations.  However, the hotel is only a ~20 minute round trip from the airport, so you should not have to wait long for a pickup.

Pre-registration

Instructions
Please add your name to the list if you will attend. Also, please indicate the following:
  • Put an X in the $$$ column if you need funding to attend, and visit the FUDCon ticket tracker to make a funding request. We have a limited budget and will work hard to fund as many people as possible. We'll use these answers to help figure out budgeting for the event. We are making arrangements for attendees from other geographic regions to encourage specific initiatives such as future FUDCon events, but preference may otherwise be given to people in North America.
  • Put a V in the Veg column if you would like vegetarian fare for any meals that we provide during the event. If you prefer vegan fare, please mark that column VV. We will do our best to make sure everyone is accommodated!
  • Put your T-shirt size in the Size column, so we can have an idea about what sizes to have available. (Use a W to note a women's size if needed.)
  • Roomsharing:
    1. If you want or need to share a room, mark yes in the "Roomshare?" column.
    2. Once you have a roommate, both of you should mark your roommate's name in the block as well.
    3. If you need a roommate, look for someone with just a yes in the column, and contact them via email. If you encounter any problems, let the organizers know.
Use the Comments section for anything else you think organizers need to know, or to offer or ask for space or rides.
Fedora means freedom — registration is free and open to everyone.
You can pre-register anonymously, but now is a great time to create a Fedora account if you don't have one! For those new to Fedora, you can register in the Fedora Account System and follow the instructions there to complete the CLA (soon to be FPCA). This process usually takes less than 5 minutes. The information you enter below is viewable by anyone, and is considered Publicly Available Personal Information.

Transportation

Airport shuttle

The hotel features a complimentary airport shuttle. Please call the hotel at +1 (480) 966-2800 (if staying at the Courtyard) or +1 (480)968-3451 (if staying at the Sheraton) to make a shuttle inquiry if needed.

Note: There is no toll-free courtesy phone at the PHX airport for this shuttle. You must either place a call from a cell phone or toll phone at the airport, or you may visit the Information Desk and have them call the Courtyard Tempe Downtown for shuttle service. Correction: The shuttle cannot take advance bookings in most cases because they are unable to wait at passenger pickup due to airport traffic and safety regulations. However, the hotel is only a ~20 minute round trip from the airport, so you should not have to wait long for a pickup.

Light rail

Valley METRO Light Rail (on Wikipedia) Metro trains run between Dobson Road in Mesa and Bethany Home Road in Phoenix; the center of the line connects Sky Harbor International Airport with downtown Tempe.

  • Metro trains run from the airport to downtown Tempe. The Mill station ("Mill Avenue and Third Street") is two very short blocks from the proposed hotel for FUDCon
  • To board a train from the airport, take the Phoenix Airport Shuttle from any terminal to the Airport Metro station ("44th Street and Washington"). Detailed directions are located here.
  • A one-ride pass for Metro (good on all local trains and buses) is $1.75; a full-day Metro pass is $3.50. Farecard machines accept credit and debit cards, and cash. 5-packs of full-day passes can be purchased online, in advance, for $17.50, and should be received within 5-7 days.

Lightning talks - Sunday

We'll do lightning talks after lunch on Sunday. These talks are to be no longer than 5 minutes, at which point we will gong you out. Talk about what you are passionate about — and it doesn't have to necessarily be Fedora.

The lightning talks will be administered by Ian Weller; official sign-ups for slots will be done after Saturday morning pitches. We are now out of slots.

You will have 5 minutes; slides are discouraged because they may take a while to set up, but if you really want to use slides, please send them to Ian well ahead of time. I highly recommend rehearsing your talk at least once.

IRC Transcript of the lightning talks

The order will be randomized when lightning talks start.
