From Fedora Project Wiki

Revision as of 09:32, 1 June 2011 by Nkumar (talk | contribs)

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 North American FUDCon 2009. Please read https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon_organization_process and understand it thoroughly if you are a event organizing volunteer. If you are responsible for finding a good place, refer to the requirements listed in https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon/Organization

Event Details

* Venue: TBD
* Date:  November or December 2011
* Time:  TBD


Budget Details

FUDCon APAC has been provided a tentative budget of 15000 US Dollars as per

http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/fudcon-planning/2011-May/002350.html

Rahul Sundaram will talk to teams within Red Hat and others on complimenting the budget but for the bidding process, our planning must be limited within this amount. Note that if a Red Hat person comes from some other country, his or her manager will generally fund that travel and that's what we will encourage. Max Spevack has additional discretionary budget in special cases. Community volunteers need funds to be taken out of the FUDCon allotted budget typically.

We are also tracking this at https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-india/ticket/48. This ticket is private to event organizers.
