FUDCon is the Fedora Users and Developer's Conference, an opportunity for all who contribute to or use Fedora to meet, learn, plan, and hack. This event is free and is open to everyone. To learn about what a FUDCon is like, you can view a video from the last North American FUDCon.
Event Details
FUDCon Toronto 2009 will be held at Seneca College, Seneca@York campus (map), from December 5-7, 2009 (Saturday-Monday). Each day's activities start at 10:00 a.m. sharp. For best results, arrive around 9:30-9:45 so you have time to get situated, find out where you want to go, and so on.
Pre-registration
Please add your name to the list if you will attend. Registration is free and open to everyone.
Also, please indicate the following:

Bus Wardens
Mel Chua has agreed to act as one of the "bus wardens" for the trip, to make sure that everyone who gets on the bus in Massachusetts gets off the bus in Toronto, and vice versa. Other volunteers are welcome. The bus wardens will also ensure that the driver and passengers are kept informed of travel times, passenger needs such as stops, and other useful information.
Stephen Smoogen volunteers to be bus warden, as does Ian Weller.
Air Travel
Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ) is served by most major carriers.
Alternately, you can fly into the Toronto City Centre Airport (downtown) from Boston, Chicago (Midway), New York (Newark), Montreal, Quebec, Halifax, Thunder Bay, or St. John's via Porter Airlines. Rates are fairly good, e.g., $95 each way to/from Boston, plus taxes.
From most US locations, it is significantly cheaper to fly to Buffalo Niagara International Airport (BUF) and then take a low-cost bus carrier such as Megabus (under $20 each way)
Border Crossing
- Information on entering Canada including documentation requirements and restrictions on firearms and other possessions.
- Information on entering the USA - note that US citizens now require a passport or other approved documentation to return to the USA regardless of the mode of transportation.
- If you plan on taking a plane to the US and then riding the bus to Toronto, you may need special documentation and a transit visa. Consult the appropriate authorities in the USA and Canada well in advance of travel!
Lodging
Lodging will be at the Hilton Garden Inn Vaughan. The nightly rate for a single or double occupancy room (1 king/2 queens) is CA$105 before November 13. (Note: if you did not make reservations before November 13 and would still like to receive the group room rate, please contact Paul Frields (stickster), Mel Chua (mchua), or Chris Tyler (ctyler) on #fudcon-planning on freenode -- the hotel has offered to extend the group rate for any additional registrations, but this must be done through the group sales coordinator rather than through the web site).
Breakfast buffet vouchers will be available for CA$6 each (regular price $14.95) during check-in.
Hack Room
Suite 316 at the hotel has been set aside as a hospitality suite/hack room/social space for Saturday through Monday evenings. The Hack 'n' Snack will be held here.
Ground Transportation in Toronto
The FUDCon campus location is well-served by public transit -- over 1700 vehicles a day stop at the adjacent transit loop. For more information:
- Toronto - TTC website - MyTTC trip planner
- Southern Ontario - GO Transit -NOTE: GO doesn't seem to have any buses or trains stopping at the York Campus on Sat.
- York Region, North of Toronto - including the Hilton Garden Inn hotel - YRT/VIVA
For specific transit instructions between the campus, hotel, airports, and coach terminal, see FUDCon:Toronto 2009 Transportation.
Parking
Parking in the Student Services parking garage adjacent to Seneca@York is abundant but costs $14/day.
Parking at the hotel and FUDPub is free.
Networking
Campus: The Seneca@York campus has wireless networking (802.11b/g) and web authentication information will be available at registration. Wired access will also be available in some rooms (bring an ethernet cable) to reduce load on the wireless network.
Hotel: Wireless access (802.11b/g) is available in all public areas and guest rooms; wired access is also available in guest rooms. No authentication is required.
Packing List
- Passport (if from outside Canada)
- Laptop with 802.11b/g wireless.
- Extension cord (and North American power adapter, if from outside NA).
- Ethernet cable (for hotel and/or hackfest).
- In Firefox, select "about:config" and set the value of
network.dns.disableIPv6totrueto work around an IPv6-timeout-before-IPv4 problem.
- Credit card (VISA or MasterCard) or small amount of Canadian cash. (ATMs are common, ones operated by banks generally have lower service fees).
- Your presentation slides or anything needed for the hackfest.
- Casual clothes for the event.
- Warm clothes for outdoors.
- Temperatures are currently a few degrees above the historic average, just above freezing. No significant snow yet but it could come anytime.
- Warm coat, mits, scarf/tuque recommended, especially for Skating.
- Optional: Skates (or rent them at Nathan Phillips Square).
If staying at the hotel:
- Optional: swimsuit, gym clothes.
Cell Phones
If you live outside of Canada, call your cell phone service provider and add their International or Canada-specific rate plan add-on - it may save you a lot of money. For Sprint, the call rate drops from $0.59/min to $0.20/min for voice calls. Sprint drops from $0.03/KB to $0.002/KB for data. For AT&T the rate is $20/MB if you don't have a pre-paid data plan.

| FUDBus Topics | Toshio Kuratomi | Hack some packagedb code, stabilize 0.5.x, work on Python3 Guidelines | |
| Packaging Guidelines Reorganization | Toshio Kuratomi | The packaging guidelines are hard to navigate. We need to reorganize them so that packagers and reviewers can easily find what they're looking for. I (and any other Packaging Committee members that are present) would like to have a brainstorming session with other packagers to come up with problems. Then sit down with people from the Documentation Project to work on reorganizing the pages to address those issues. | Small room and a whiteboard |
| Fedora Event Splash | Clint Savage | Ambassadors need some good tools to help recruit attendees at conferences, LUG activities and other useful events. F-E-S plans to be a portal to this sort of need and will provide a front end for each conference for attendees to get more information about groups to join, etc. In addition, integration into Fedora Community to help manage the new recruits, mentorees, etc. | |
| Fedora Eclipse plugins | Andrew Overholt & Elliott Baron | Elliott has written the basis for koji and bodhi integration with Eclipse. We need to update these, write tests, verify usability, and generally polish and plan for the future. This will be a great opportunity to see how easy it is to hack on Eclipse plugins and will be an excellent alternative to the command-line for new packagers. | eclipse-pdeinstalled. |
| Yum miscellaneous | Seth Vidal | Since it is what I'm always doing I'll probably be working on yum and the related tools(yum, yum-utils, urlgrabber, createrepo, preupgrade). Anyone is welcome to come along and ask questions on how to write their own tools using the yum/createrepo/etc apis. Since this is over 2 months away I have no idea what I'll be working on. | comfort in python |
| Eclipse SystemTap script integration | Charley Wang & Roland Grunberg | Charley and Roland have been working on an API for adding SystemTap user-space scripts for launch via Eclipse. The API is set up to handle real-time or post-script processing on any C/C++ project in the Eclipse workspace, and we're working on easily accessible Zest integration. This is a fun opportunity to play around with Eclipse plugins and stap scripts at the same time! | eclipse-pde installed SystemTap installed eclipse-cdt installed |
| No Frozen Rawhide | Jesse Keating | Come help us hack on the next generation development processes for Fedora. | Knowledge of our current development processes |
| Get on the (Message) BUS! | Jesse Keating | We're going to hack on a message bus for Fedora infrastructure. | Comfort in python, some knowledge of qpid/amqp |
| Get rid of CVS! | Jesse Keating | I'm always thinking about ways to replace CVS with something better, I welcome a discussion on this. | Knowledge of dist-cvs, and hopefully some other SCM |
| Sugar Desktop | Sebastian Dziallas | Hacking, packaging and testing the Sugar Desktop implementation and getting it to rock for F13. Plan- & Progress-making for SoaS included. More to come. | None specifically, knowing what Sugar is can't really hurt, though. |
| Fedora Mini | Peter Robinson | A review of where Fedora Mini is at the moment including the state of Moblin. Moving Fedora Mini forward in F-13 and beyond! Will cover what people what it to be, where they see it going ,who wants to do what. Merging with Fedora sugar/olpc as there's too much overlap not to. Supporting gnome mobile, moblin and other small device groups to help attract them. What is required to support the ARM platform as that's where the 'mini' devices are headed in some part | None specifically but not to conflict with the Sugar/SOAS sessions. |
| Fedora Community / Moksha | Luke Macken | Hacking on new app/widget ideas, fixing bugs, teaching, etc. | Python, and ideally TurboGears2 |
| Bodhi Update System | Luke Macken | Hacking on Bodhi v2.0, new features, fixing bugs, learning, etc. | Python, and ideally TurboGears2 |
| SystemTap Static Probes | Mark Wielaard Frank Eigler William Cohen | Systemtap allows event tracing of programs when they have static probes inserted. This allows for tracing specifics of an application on a higher level that is meaningful to the application user so they don't have to know the exact source code details for tracing what is happening. We want to go over the packages in the SystemTap Static Probes feature list. But everybody is encouraged to bring their package and hack together to make it more observable. | Having followed the Technical Session on How to extend your application to improve observability with Systemtap would be good. |
| Campus Ambassadors | John Rose | Integrate ideas from students and faculty about how to be an effective campus advocate as well as to develop a plan to involve the marketing team in the development of supporting materials. | Students, faculty, marketing folks, others interested welcome. |

Documentation
Logging everything at FAD EMEA via IRC was a complete success. It enabled us to integrate people better in the conversation flow without being present. I (Yaakov Nemoy) want to do this again for FUDCon on a larger scale. If we include the streaming audio and video solution we had in Boston last winter, we can cover as many bases as possible. In order to cover as many sessions as possible, we need a few things:
- Volunteers - Yes, You. If you're not planning on doing too many sessions, volunteer to show up with your laptop and fingers ready for typing
- A/V Equipment - Let that inner nerd shine
- Bandwidth - Can we make sure we can get the QoS guarantees we need to keep the a/v flowing smoothly?
The planned structure at the moment is to provide one irc channel per room. We can name them after the actual rooms, so it's easy to see the traffic based on the posted schedule. This has the added advantage of enabling people to participate in more than one session at a time.
If you are willing to volunteer, please put your name on the list below
| Name | Help you're willing to bring |
|---|---|
| Yaakov Nemoy | Coordinating the effort and IRC logging |
| Mel Chua | Livetranscribing sessions I'm present in; also willing to sort/clean-up wiki notes afterwards (on the FUDBus ride out). |
| Ian Weller | Wiki cleanup on the FUDBus home sounds awesome. |
| Bert Desmet | Livetranscribing sessions I'm present in; also willing to sort/clean-up wiki notes afterwards. + I can bring a standard webcam, and use my laptop to stream |
| Pascal Calarco | Livetranscribing sessions I'm present in; also willing to sort/clean-up wiki notes afterwards. I also can bring a standard webcam, and use my laptop to stream |
| Matt Domsch | Video conversion and posting. Need other people to bring video cameras. |
Social Events
Saturday, December 5
FUDPub
Following the day of technical sessions, we'll be moving the fun to Dave and Buster's. We'll provide food, pool and snooker tables, and non-alcoholic beverages for the first 130 registrants (up to the "130 mark" in the pre-registration table). There's also a full bar available for those so inclined, and a midway full of other entertainment options!
Sunday, December 6
Skating
On Sunday 6 December after the day's hackfest sessions, we will be taking a group down to Nathan Phillips Square (in front of Toronto City Hall) where there's an outdoor skating rink. Skate rentals are available for something less than $10. We will take the TTC (bus -> subway) and it will cost $2.75 each way. Exact change or over payment is required for the TTC.
After skating, we will head to The 3 Brewers pub/restaurant which is about a 10 minute walk from Nathan Phillips Square. Everyone is responsible for covering their own costs. In case anyone is hungry before/during skaing, there are trucks adjacent to the rink which serve fries, hot dogs, burgers, etc. The trucks will only accept cash.
In order to enable travel directly downtown from campus, arrangements have been made for laptops to be securely stored at Seneca (with options for delivery to the hotel hack room Sunday night or pickup at campus Monday morning).
Monday, December 7
Hack 'n' Snack
On Monday 7 December, there will be appetizers in the hack room/hospitality suite at the hotel from 8-9 pm, courtesy of the Hilton Garden Inn. This will include a selection of bruchetta, melon and prosciutto, cheese platter, crudite platter, and finger sandwiches.
