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.

Getting to Margarita

Santiago Mariño International Airport

Santiago Mariño Caribbean International Airport (Spanish: Aeropuerto Internacional del Caribe "Santiago Mariño") (IATA: PMV, ICAO: SVMG) is a commercial airport located near Porlamar, the largest city on Isla Margarita, an island in state of Nueva Esparta in Venezuela.

The Airport is divided into two sections; International and Domestic. International flights leave to Canada, Europe, South America and the Caribbean. Primary domestic routes are to Caracas, Maturín and Ciudad Bolivar.

Private ways of transportation can be used if they are needed.

Simón Bolívar International Airport

Simón Bolívar International Airport of Maiquetia (IATA: CCS, ICAO: SVMI) (Spanish: Aeropuerto Internacional de Maiquetia Simón Bolívar) is located in Maiquetía, about 13 miles (21 kilometers) from downtown Caracas, Venezuela.

Simply called 'Maiquetia' by the local population, it is the top international air passenger gateway to Venezuela among the twelve international airports in the country. It handles flights to many important cities in the Americas, the Caribbean, Europe and the Middle East.

Since 2000 the airport has been undergoing major changes in order to meet international standards and to improve passenger traffic, security, immigration areas and customs areas. Security measures have become top priority since the 9/11 events, and now departure areas and arrival areas are completely split into the lower and upper levels of the airport. Maiquetia airport has two terminals: Domestic (D) and international (I).

Session name	Description	User Level	Lead
Fedora Test automation: State of the union	Discuss the current tools used to do automated regression test on Fedora, accomplishments and roadmap	Intermediate	Lucas Meneghel Rodrigues
Using control groups (cgroups) to manage resources in virtualization/cloud computing	Real world examples of how to increase density in virtual or cloud computing environments via cgroups	Intermediate	Thomas Cameron (choirboy)
Spacewalk power user tips and tricks	What to do once you've got Spacewalk up and running to automate system installation and deployment	Intermediate	Thomas Cameron (choirboy)
High availability clustering with Fedora	How to set up a clustered GFS2 filesystem using iSCSI and run a highly available application on it	Intermediate	Thomas Cameron (choirboy)
Security Enhanced Linux for Mere Mortals	Introduction to SELinux and real world examples of how to use it. Includes some common scenarios where you might need to configure SELinux	Beginner	Thomas Cameron (choirboy)
Building RPMs for mere mortals	Introduction to building packages. I'll cover building RPMs from Open Source software and from binaries from software for which you don't have the source code.	Beginner	Thomas Cameron (choirboy)
Introduction to Fedora QA	Overview on what the QA team and its various subgroups do from the beginning of the development of a new release to its EOL. (Not including AutoQA.)	Beginner	Sandro "red" Mathys
Creating FUDCon booklets, or "Ian's raptor-proofing talk"	A quick overview on tips and tricks I've learned in creating information booklets for FUDCon Tempe and Blacksburg, and a demonstration of the tools involved and some best practices in desktop publishing.	Intermediate	Ian Weller
Systems Management with Matahari	In this talk Russell will introduce the Matahari project, an interface for system management APIs of all kinds. Russell will discuss the architecture of the Matahari ecosystem and how the use of AMQP as a transport layer allows it to scale to large collections of servers in the Cloud. Russell will also describe the ways in which developers and system administrators can get involved in the Matahari ecosystem: by creating agents to provide access to existing APIs through Matahari; by creating their own APIs; by writing their own clients to interact with agents; and by interacting through a command line shell or script.	Advanced	Russell Bryant
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. This computer features an ARM11 core and a ridiculously strong GPU with HD output, and it runs Fedora!	Any	Chris Tyler
Introduction to Gluster	Jeff Darcy and John Mark Walker will lead the audience on a tour of GlusterFS: it's architecture, origins and community.	Beginner	Jeff Darcy & [[User:Johnmark|John Mark Walker] & ]Sid Wilroy
Using Fedora to make logos, t-shirts, stickers, and other fun swag	You've got an awesome software project or community but you've got no swag! Oh nos, however will you get people to hang out at your booth at the latest conference? Do you (*gulp*) need the Adobe Suite and a Mac....? No way!! Everything you need is in Fedora! We'll walk through some basic logo creation techniques in Inkscape. Then, using both Inkscape and Scribus, we'll create a basic, print-ready circular design that you could use for buttons or stickers. Finally, we'll create an affordable, print-ready T-shirt design again using Inkscape and Scribus. Throughout, we'll go over how to create CMYK rather than RBG designs so your Fedora blue won't run purple!	Beginner	Máirín Duffy
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 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! If you would like to help brainstorm how we could make this happen and pitch in to make it happen, please come!	Any	Máirín Duffy
Katello: A Sysadmin's Fortress	Katello is here to help you take control of your software and your systems in an easy-to-use and scalable manner. Focusing on the software lifecycle, you can organize that content into repositories that are easily searchable, filtered, manipulated and controlled in a locked-down container called an Environment.	Intermediate	Justin Sherrill
Making Fedora Package Maintenance Easier	Come check out the unveiling of new tools for Fedora package maintainers designed and developed by the Fedora engineering team! We'll demo our staging instance and let you log in and kick the tires. Give us any feedback or wishlist items you have to make working with Fedora packages easier!	Intermediate to Advanced	Tom Callaway

Pulp: Juicy Software Repository Management	The Pulp team is finishing up testing of version 1.0, bringing repository and consumer management to your infrastructure. This talk will cover an overview of the 1.0 features and a look at the new architecture of 2.0. Pulp version 2.0 will support non-RPM content in the form of user-defined content types, including modeling relationships between content units. Leverage existing Pulp features such as consumer management, scheduling, concurrency, and throttling to write your own plugins to customize content import and publishing for your needs.	Intermediate	Jay Dobies
