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! Note: "Hell No" and similar statements are offensive to some and should not be included in this column.
  • Put your T-shirt size in the Size column, so we can have an idea about what sizes to have available. Only Unisex (Mens Sizes will be ordered)
  • 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 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.

High availability clustering with Fedora How to set up a clustered GFS2 filesystem using iSCSI and run a highly available application on it Intermediate Thomas Cameron (choirboy)
Security Enhanced Linux for Mere Mortals Introduction to SELinux and real world examples of how to use it. Includes some common scenarios where you might need to configure SELinux Beginner Thomas Cameron (choirboy)
Building RPMs for mere mortals Introduction to building packages. I'll cover building RPMs from Open Source software and from binaries from software for which you don't have the source code. Beginner Thomas Cameron (choirboy)
Introduction to Fedora QA Overview on what the QA team and its various subgroups do from the beginning of the development of a new release to its EOL. (Not including AutoQA.) Beginner Sandro "red" Mathys
Creating FUDCon booklets, or "Ian's raptor-proofing talk" A quick overview on tips and tricks I've learned in creating information booklets for FUDCon Tempe and Blacksburg, and a demonstration of the tools involved and some best practices in desktop publishing. Intermediate Ian Weller
Systems Management with Matahari In this talk Russell will introduce the Matahari project, an interface for system management APIs of all kinds. Russell will discuss the architecture of the Matahari ecosystem and how the use of AMQP as a transport layer allows it to scale to large collections of servers in the Cloud. Russell will also describe the ways in which developers and system administrators can get involved in the Matahari ecosystem: by creating agents to provide access to existing APIs through Matahari; by creating their own APIs; by writing their own clients to interact with agents; and by interacting through a command line shell or script. Advanced Russell Bryant
Fedora and the Raspberry Pi The Raspberry Pi is a $25-35 computer aimed at provoking curiosity about computers and programming in the same way that BBC Micros, ZX-80/81s, Commodore 64s, Atari 400/800s, and Apple ][s did in the 80's. This computer features an ARM11 core and a ridiculously strong GPU with HD output, and it runs Fedora! Any Chris Tyler
oVirt: Open Virtualization Management The oVirt project has been around for a while, but has recently been relaunched and reinvigorated with the open sourcing of Red Hat's RHEVM codebase. The oVirt project consists of a variety of sub-projects which all contribute towards an ecosystem of open virtualization management for datacenters. Perry will give a presentation on the current state of the oVirt upstream development & release efforts, as well as a short demonstration of the software. Any Perry Myers
