From Fedora Project Wiki

This is the main page for the 2010 Events FAD, which is a FAD focused on tools, infrastructure, and materials for Fedora events, with a focus on FUDCons (though much of the work will likely be reusable for FADs themselves).

Status

This page is a stub/draft; right now we are looking for ideas to put in the #Purpose section. Discussion and coordination are happening on the fudcon-planning list, but this wiki page is the canonical reference to the status of this event's planning.

Purpose

'We are now filling out this section - please add your ideas/thoughts here.

  1. Our purpose is to... complete with the following primary goals (Still brainstorming a list; we will select the final few primary goals after some options have been generated):
    • A scaleable event registration and session scheduling solution
    • A recording / remote participation solution
    • A repository of FUDCon templates and materials (letters, posters, etc) with instructions for customization
    • Other ideas?
  2. In addition, we will attempt to complete the following secondary goals as time allows (Still brainstorming a list; we will select several secondary goals after some options have been generated and primary goals have been chosen):
    • An accounting system that is less reliant on a RH person doing everything financially-related
    • A FUDCon effectiveness feedback survey that can be used to chart our improvement over time
    • A clearly defined sponsorship timeline, publication process, and selection process for assigning travel funding to community members who need it
    • Other ideas?
