-=====Easier filling of vacant seats=====

-Every committee is in danger of members becoming inactive.  This can

+A short section on the Group tag in Fedora packages has been added.

+====FUDCon Paris Updates: Subsidy requests opening, hotel reminders====

+"Greetings! (...or perhaps I should say.... bonjour!)
+I'd like to share a few reminders and announcements regarding the
+upcoming '''FUDCon in Paris, France, on October 13-15, 2012'''.
+If you are planning to attend FUDCon and need a travel subsidy to do so,
+the ticketing system is now open for those requests.  Requests will be
+accepted through August 15, 2012. Please note that funding requests
+without a ticket will not be considered. Preference will be given to
+attendees from the EMEA region who are actively contributing to Fedora,
+and have detailed their participation plans for FUDCon in their request.
+To place a subsidy request, please follow these steps:
+: Pre-register at
+<ref>http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon:Paris_2012#Pre-registration</ref> - and
+put an X in the $$$ column
+: Read about the funding request process and place a funding request
+ticket in the FUDCon-planning ticket tracker here:
+<ref>https://fedorahosted.org/fudcon-planning/wiki/FundingRequest</ref>
+Additionally, a few notes regarding the hotel in Paris:
+There are other events in Paris during this time period; most notably,
+our first day of FUDCon will be taking place at the Open World Forum
+conference, on the day in which the public is encouraged to participate
+in and learn about open source projects.  OWF had nearly 2000 attendees
+last year.  Accordingly, rooms might be in short supply as we approach
+FUDCon; please, book your hotel as soon as possible, not only for
+affordability purposes, but also so that you have a bed to sleep in. :)
+We currently have a rate of EUR81 per night at the ibis Paris La Vilette
+Cite des Sciencesfor the nights of the 12th, 13th, and 14th of October.
+However, this rate will expire at the end of August, and any remaining
+rooms in our block will expire.
+For instructions on booking your hotel, please read the Lodging/Hotel
+section of the FUDCon: Paris wiki:
