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 North America.
- 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!
- Put your T-shirt size in the Size column, so we can have an idea about what sizes to have available. (Use a W to note a women's size if needed.)
- 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.

Lodging
Primary Hotel
Courtyard Tempe Downtown -- 601 South Ash Avenue, Tempe, Arizona 85281 (map) -- +1 (480) 966-2800
- Links for reservations online
- King + sofabed room |
Queen + Queen room-- The deadline for reservations is November 5. Note that depending on when you make your reservation, you may be presented with a different room type. King rooms also include a sofabed, and will accommodate separate double occupancy. The special FUDCon rate is $99 per night (single or double occupancy).
- Shoulder dates
- If your stay requires extra nights before or after the nights of 28-31 January ("shoulder dates"), and the online link does not accommodate your input, call the hotel directly at the phone number above for assistance, and feel free to let the organizers know online (IRC or email) so we can request additional shoulder dates as needed.
- Proximity
- The hotel is located within easy walking distance of the classroom space where the technical sessions will be held on Saturday and Sunday. There is a bit more of a walk to Memorial Union for Monday's hackfests, but it's under 20 minutes away (less than a mile).
Secondary Hotel
Four Points Sheraton Tempe -- 1333 Rural Rd.. Tempe, Arizona 85281 (map) -- +1 (480)968-3451
- Links for reservations online
- Reserve your room here. The rate is $99/night, and includes shuttle to/from airport, free breakfast, free wireless internet.
- Shoulder dates
- If your stay requires extra nights before or after the nights of 28-31 January ("shoulder dates"), please let the organizers know via the fudcon-planning mailing list, or via IRC, so that we can arrange additional shoulder dates as needed.
- Proximity
- The Four Points Sheraton Tempe is within walking distance (2 miles) of the Brickyard Artisan Court building, the primary hotel (Courtyard Marriott Tempe), and Mill Avenue.
- Transportation
- The Four Points Sheraton Tempe provides airport shuttle, as well as shuttle to events on ASU campus. The shuttle is first-come, first-served; if you are depending on the shuttle to go places, be sure to ask at the front desk ahead of time.
- The City of Tempe also has free, local bus routes. The Orbit Mercury bus line travels from approximately 1 block from the Sheraton, and has stops near ASU Memorial Union, the ASU Brickyard Engineering and Artisan Court buildings, and is approximately 2 blocks from the Courtyard Marriott.
Transportation
Airport shuttle
The hotel features a complimentary airport shuttle. Please call the hotel at +1 (480) 966-2800 (if staying at the Courtyard) or +1 (480)968-3451 (if staying at the Sheraton) to make a shuttle inquiry if needed.
Note: There is no toll-free courtesy phone at the PHX airport for this shuttle. You must either place a call from a cell phone or toll phone at the airport, or you may visit the Information Desk and have them call the Courtyard Tempe Downtown for shuttle service. Correction: The shuttle cannot take advance bookings in most cases because they are unable to wait at passenger pickup due to airport traffic and safety regulations. However, the hotel is only a ~20 minute round trip from the airport, so you should not have to wait long for a pickup.
Light rail
Valley METRO Light Rail (on Wikipedia) Metro trains run between Dobson Road in Mesa and Bethany Home Road in Phoenix; the center of the line connects Sky Harbor International Airport with downtown Tempe.
- Metro trains run from the airport to downtown Tempe. The Mill station ("Mill Avenue and Third Street") is two very short blocks from the proposed hotel for FUDCon
- To board a train from the airport, take the Phoenix Airport Shuttle from any terminal to the Airport Metro station ("44th Street and Washington"). Detailed directions are located here.
- A one-ride pass for Metro (good on all local trains and buses) is $1.75; a full-day Metro pass is $3.50. Farecard machines accept credit and debit cards, and cash. 5-packs of full-day passes can be purchased online, in advance, for $17.50, and should be received within 5-7 days.
Parking
At the hotel
The Courtyard Tempe has a significant amount of parking and has told us that they don't believe there will be a problem accommodating some out of town drivers there.
Brickyard on Mill
Parking is available directly underneath the Brickyard on Mill. Parking in this garage is not controlled by ASU, so we are not able to procure special passes.
The Brickyard on Mill is located at 699 S. Mill Ave., Tempe, AZ. The underground parking is accessible from both 6th and 7th streets. Parking signs are posted.
Rates are as follows:
- $1.50 Each half hour or fraction

- Event Parking as posted (for concerts, etc)
ASU Memorial Union
There are several lots available near the Memorial Union in which to park.

Network access
The SSID for our conference wireless network on ASU grounds is ASU Guest. Note this wireless network requires you to complete a Web portal click-through for authentication. Authentication is required after any extended disconnect time, or after 12 hours have elapsed.
The network is expected to allow at least traffic for HTTP/S (80/443) and SSH (22). We will be testing the network for final connectivity details the day before the event, and updated information will be provided here as needed.
There is also wireless available at the primary and secondary hotels. Refer to the information provided by your hotel for details.

Lightning talks - Sunday
We'll do lightning talks after lunch on Sunday. These talks are to be no longer than 5 minutes, at which point we will gong you out. Talk about what you are passionate about — and it doesn't have to necessarily be Fedora.
The lightning talks will be administered by Ian Weller; official sign-ups for slots will be done after Saturday morning pitches.
You will have 5 minutes; slides are discouraged because they may take a while to set up, but if you really want to use slides, please send them to Ian well ahead of time. I highly recommend rehearsing your talk at least once.
