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 EMEA.
- 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). Please note that after 100 preregistration, there would be no guarantee to have tshirt left.
- Roomsharing:
- If you want or need to share a room, mark yes in the "Roomshare?" column.
- Once you have a roommate, both of you should mark your roommate's name in the block as well.
- 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.
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.
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.

Lodging / Hotel
As detailed on the mailing list, you can book your hotel now. We have locked 30 twins (2 separated beds) in the IBIS hotel really close to the second venue (Sun-Mon). But that will do also for the first one.
To book the hotel, just follow what is detailed in the email. If you are looking for a roomate, try to contact the other one listed on the above table. The price (81€) is for the room, same price for 1 or 2 beds. Please add in the above table if you need help looking for a roommate. The rooms are too small for a third bed, we can't manage that.
Address:
31-35, quai de l'Oise 75019 PARIS FRANCE
See the Map. The venue labelled "Cité des Sciences et de l'Industrie".
Schedule
Travel and transportation
Flying to Paris will have you land at either the Paris-Orly airport or the Paris-Charles-de-Gaulle one. In either case, the simplest way into the city is to take the RER B subway to Châtelet. Once you are there, you can choose to take the metro line 1 to George V (if you are on your way to the OWF) or line 7 (if you are going to the hotel or the Universcience building.
Paris has an extensive public transport system so getting from one place to another is relatively easy.
To get from Eurosites to the Ibis hotel, take the metro line 1 to the Châtelet station and then the metro line 7 to Porte de la Villette (the connection takes 5 minutes walking). The trip will last about 40 minutes.
You can get more information about the Paris subway on the ratp website. Here are some explanations about the subway tickets:
- One way subway ticket=1.70€ (12.70€ for 10 tickets, you can buy for others!). This tickets are called Ticket t+. It's for Paris only (zone 1). To came from the Airport it would be a different ticket. But this works from the hotel to the FUDPub through the Saturday location.
- If you'r younger than 26, you can take a ticket for young people, labelled ticket jeune weekend which works for Sat or Sunday, the whole day (unlimited travel a day). It costs 3.50€ (zone 1-3)
- The Mobilis ticket is a one day ticket, for unlimited travel, costs 6.40€ (zone 1-2).
You should not need to go out of the 1st zone (the subway/train system is divided in several zones, from the center to the outer).
