| Systems Management with Matahari || In this talk Russell will introduce the [http://matahariproject.org/ Matahari project], an interface for system management APIs of all kinds.

| Fedora and the Raspberry Pi || The Raspberry Pi is a $25-35 computer aimed at provoking curiosity about computers and programming in the same way that BBC Micros, ZX-80/81s, Commodore 64s, Atari 400/800s, and Apple ][s did in the 80's.

| Fedora Inspire: A virtual conference || While we are all lucky to make it to FUDcon, there are many FUDcon contributors around the world who have not had the opportunity to come even though they would love to be here. Would it be cool to have a week-long [http://ted.com TED-like conference], run on Fedora Planet, where every day of the event a new 15-minute video is posted from someone doing inspirational work in or with Fedora? How is Fedora being used in schools, to build robots, to create awesome music? Let's find out!

FUDCon is a combination of sessions, talks, workshops, and hackfests in which contributors work on specific initiatives.

FUDCon is always free to attend for anyone in the world.

Location

Hackfests: Friday

BarCamp: Sunday, Saturday

FUDPub: Sunday


Dates

June 28-29-30, 2012

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! Note: "Hell No" and similar statements are offensive to some and should not be included in this column.
  • Put your T-shirt size in the Size column, so we can have an idea about what sizes to have available. Only Unisex (Mens Sizes will be ordered)
  • Roomsharing:
    1. If you want or need to share a room, mark yes in the "Roomshare?" column.
    2. Once you have a roommate, both of you should mark your roommate's name in the block as well.
    3. 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.
