Revision as of 12:45, 11 August 2008
Fedora Ambassador Day EMEA 2008
The FAD 2008 is an event intended to plan the ambassadors' activities in 2009 and to have some fun together.
Organization
Duration
- Friday, 2008-11-14 to Sunday, 2008-11-16
- Detailed schedule
Location
- City: Basel, Switzerland
- Airport: EuroAirport Basel Mulhouse Freiburg (BSL)
- Train station: Basel SBB
Basel was chosen by MaxSpevack and SandroMathys after weighing various options, including travel distance and time for people all over Europe. We recognize that some people who want to attend may need travel sponsorship, and MaxSpevack will make sure that we have some budget set aside for that. Please contact him with questions. It was a difficult decision and the votes were split, but we did what we thought was best overall.
Accomodation
- Hotel (with sleeping and working rooms) to be dated in August.
- We'll most probably get double/triple rooms for everyone, without exceptions.
- We'll try to get bedrooms with a shower/toilet.
Ride Sharing / Car Pooling
People who drive to the FAD by car or get to the airport by car and have some free seats available are asked to help others to get to the FAD. Please add below how many seats you have available, where you start the journey and where you could possibly pick up folks.
| Driver | Seats available | Starting point | Destination | Possible pick up points |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Henrik Heigl | 1-2 | Pirmasens | Basel | all the lane down, Flughafen ZW, maybe France |
| Joerg Simon | 3 | Stuttgart | Basel | Stuttgart, Strasbourg, and so on |
| Peter Reuschlein | 3 | Stuttgart | Basel | TBB, Stuttgart |
People who'd like to join one of the drivers above, please ask the driver if he's still got a free seat and where he could pick you up. If you both agree on the terms (e.g. time, location, cost sharing, etc.) add yourself to the list below in order for other people to see which driver still has free seats available.
| Driver | Passenger | Pick up point |
|---|---|---|
| Joerg Simon | Robert Scheck | Stuttgart |
| Peter Reuschlein | Marco Ziesing | Stuttgart |

Fun
Feel free to add your own ideas. Please note, that we most probably won't make this decision public before the FAD has begun - see it as a little surprise. We might or might not take anything that was suggested here. But your ideas are a great help for brainstorming, anyway.
Ideas:
- Augusta Raurica (old Roman city) -- red
- Feldschloesschen Brewery, which is inside a very nice castle -- red
- Eat some local food speciality on Saturday for dinner -- GeroldKa / red
Budget
- MaxSpevack has indicated that he can provide at least 500 EUR budget for this event. As we get closer, the number may go up. Budget will be used for travel subsidies, lodging subsidies, food, and some fun event.
