Aires, Rosario, Tucumán, Mendoza, Salta, Iguazú, Resistencia, San Juan and Santiago del Estero).  
Besides the capital city has a bus terminal station, trains and an important fast access road network to the main tourist areas of the province.


*By optimus infrastructure:
*It has also a rich and long history with many points to visit, like The Samotracia's Victory, Salvo Palace, Blanes Museum and many others.
# + 200.000 m² covered area dedicated to events
*Many natural places and beautiful parks.
# + de 3000 Five, four and three hotel rooms
*Rich and varied cultural places and activities like artisans fairs, universities and more.
# 8 Venues at universities

*Low costs in organisation and transport, while keeping the high quality.
*Nearer for southern countries and contributors.
*Many transport lines and ways.  It's accessible by bus, ferry and charter. From certain points, it's possible to use train as well.


*By services:
==== Cons ====
# Tour Operators, Incoming Agencies and Tourism Guides.
*Aeroplane tickets to Montevideo aren't outstanding, but aeroplane tickets from Montevideo are a bit expensive. On the other hand, there's many other ways to get Montevideo (like bus and ferry) from the surrounding countries so it shouldn't be a great impediment.

==== Cons ====
It is located right next to the sea and near to the city centre.
*The only disappointment that we perceive is the instability of the costs due to inflation facing the country, and that prevents us making an accurate estimate.
Its pros are: internet connection, good ambiance, almost perfect catering service, illuminated rooms and low costs.
Its cons are: maybe a bit small room.
Price: U$520 (both spaces, barcamp and hackfest rooms, two days)

=== Option 2: Espacio Serratosa ===  


=== Option 1: Universidad Empresarial Siglo 21 ===
It is located in the old cask of the city (Ciudad Vieja) which is, at the same time, historically interesting, beautiful and centric. Its pros are spacious illuminated rooms, nice ambiance, good internet connection. Its cons are: a catering not as adequate to this kind of events as Sinergia and a higher cost.
Price:  U$700 per day  (both spaces, barcamp and hackfest).

It is located in the center of the Córdoba city, for its location and for being considered one of the most important engineering studies, we see it as a potential candidate.
Cons: Only one room. Too little. Higher costs, comparatively.

We have considered two options for receiving ambassadors: the first is a four star hotel located at the city center (King David hotel), often chosen for conferences and events of this nature, the second corresponds to a Hostel also located at central area booking all seats for the occasion. In giving the latter a difference in significant costs, our idea is to call as many members of our Fedora FUDCon.
We have considered these options for receiving attendance: First one is a three star hotel located at the city centre (America Hotel), often chosen by people who's used to do international travels. Second one is also three stars, located in the old cask, with some interesting features like transport service from airport (paid separately), lugagge storage and a staff speaking many languages.Third one is a four stars hotel near to the sea, also in the centre area. All of them may do a discount for groups.

From any of the 2 properties mentioned, the conference would be accessed using a private transport, this would be around 300 USD the whole event for everyone.
Given the chosen hotels are near to the event places proposed, there's no need of transport besides some occasional cabs. Taxi or remise service won't cost more than U$50 counting 20 people, if needed.

Transport from and to the airport

It is easily accessible using public or private transport. We have chosen for organizational reasons, hire a private service with estimated cost 200 USD (considering 20 people).

Outline of local mass transit

City's public transport is bus and taxi. Bus costs are U$1 per person. Taxi costs are U$1 first 100 mts. and U$0.10 every 100 mts. Usually, cabs capacity is up to 4 people though you can ask special cars if needed.

Pro and cons about the proposed location

Pros

Montevideo has a strategic location as central point of MERCOSUR, with connections and direct scheduled flights (national and international) to major Latinamerican cities (Panamá, São Paulo, Buenos Aires, Rio do Janeiro, Santiago de Chile, among others). Besides the international airport has a bus terminal station, and important highways and roads to all points inside the city.

  • It has also a rich and long history with many points to visit, like The Samotracia's Victory, Salvo Palace, Blanes Museum and many others.
  • Many natural places and beautiful parks.
  • Rich and varied cultural places and activities like artisans fairs, universities and more.
  • A rich and varied cuisine with many local dishes and drinks, like Chivito, Chajá Dessert, Ravioli alla Carusso and Grappamiel; but also with many good restaurants offering new cuisine or international dishes like French, Italian, Armenian and others.
  • Low costs in organisation and transport, while keeping the high quality.
  • Nearer for southern countries and contributors.
  • Many transport lines and ways. It's accessible by bus, ferry and charter. From certain points, it's possible to use train as well.

Cons

  • Aeroplane tickets to Montevideo aren't outstanding, but aeroplane tickets from Montevideo are a bit expensive. On the other hand, there's many other ways to get Montevideo (like bus and ferry) from the surrounding countries so it shouldn't be a great impediment.

Proposed venues

Option 1: Sinergia Coworking

It is located right next to the sea and near to the city centre. Its pros are: internet connection, good ambiance, almost perfect catering service, illuminated rooms and low costs. Its cons are: maybe a bit small room. Price: U$520 (both spaces, barcamp and hackfest rooms, two days)

Option 2: Espacio Serratosa

It is located in the old cask of the city (Ciudad Vieja) which is, at the same time, historically interesting, beautiful and centric. Its pros are spacious illuminated rooms, nice ambiance, good internet connection. Its cons are: a catering not as adequate to this kind of events as Sinergia and a higher cost. Price: U$700 per day (both spaces, barcamp and hackfest).

Option 3: Cowork Uy

It's an international company dedicated to give offices for co-working, startups and events.

Pros: Place near to the sea, interest and enthusiasm for this event.

Cons: Only one room. Too little. Higher costs, comparatively.

Links

Fud-Pub

Since this is the first time Montevideo hosts a FUDCon should be a good idea to visit certain points like Pocitos beach, Punta Carretas lighthouse, the city's old cask (Ciudad Vieja) and Blanes Museum.

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. If you have any special needs like allergies or ill, add it. 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.
  • 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.
