We will hold a 3-day FUDCon a few weeks after the release of Fedora 10, to celebrate the occasion and kick off development of Fedora 11.

If you have questions, please contact the event's organizer -- Paul W. Frields.

The FUDCon will include two days of hackfests and a day of BarCamp. Location TBA.

Friday, Sunday hackfest hours: 10:00am-6:00pm
Saturday BarCamp hours: 9:00am-5:00pm

Current Attendees

Please add your name to the list if you will attend. Put an X in the Need Funding column if you need funding to attend. We'll use these answers to help figure out budgeting for the event.

Budget is tight!
We typically cannot fund everyone who wants to attend. You can save quite a bit of money by carpooling or busing, and sharing hotel rooms. We will make every effort to have FUDCon be as affordable as possible.

Note: some of the comments below discuss dates which were previously proposed but which have now been ruled out.

No./Nr.	Name	Need Funding?	Comments
1	Paul W. Frields		Dec 5 is son's birthday, but can do either weekend.
2	Tom 'spot' Callaway		Grand vizier.
3	Máirín Duffy
4	Scott Fitchet
5	Matt Domsch		Can't make Dec 5-7, can make 12-14.

7	Jon Stanley
8	Chris Tyler		Considering bringing a vanload of Seneca folks
9	Ricky Zhou		Might be able to make one of the dates, but both 5-7 and 12-14 are dangerously close to finals, practically guaranteed to make January :-)
