Plan

  1. Location:
  2. Date: Fri 2015-May-15 through Sun 2015-May-17
    • Date is tentative. The F22 release is scheduled Tue 2015-May-19 but historically we haven't ever hit the date. But this event could move to 2015-May-08 to 2015-May-10 with no problem. Later weekend is Memorial Day holiday, start of summer, and end of Red Hat fiscal Q1; earlier weekends would be difficult for PyCon attendees.
  3. Schedule
    • International participants arrive Wed 2015-May-13
    • Domestic participants arrive Thu 2015-May-14
    • Fri 2015-May-15 -- Work day
    • Sat 2015-May-16 -- Work day
    • Sun 2015-May-17 -- Work day
    • Participants leave Mon 2015-May-18
  4. Important skills (one or more)
    • Python (vital!)
    • bash
    • understanding of release deliverables
    • knowledge of fedmsg and other backend technologies helpful
  5. Personnel (people who might fit the bill)
    • TBA, see above
  6. Other considerations
    • Raleigh was site of a previous FAD and is probably a good cost-based option.
      • Did the space last time work out OK?
    • Paul can drive to the event and possibly do some airport pickups.
    • Till would likely need plenty of advance notice.
