FUDCon Planning meetings
June 4th 2011: http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/fudcon-planning/2011-June/002399.html
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.
Pre-registration
Please add your name to the list if you will attend. Registration is free and open to everyone.
