As the co-organizers for the North American FUDCon F10, the illustrious Max Spevack and I are trying to get a handle on our true hotel needs for the event. To that end, I’ve made a couple changes to the FUDCon planning page so we can gather information on who needs lodging for the show:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon/FUDConF10#Attendees
PLEASE visit that page and add your information to the table of attendees. We’re asking who’s attending the Summit as a customer so we can weigh the logistics of using “shoulder dates”[1] at the Red Hat Summit-affiliated hotels to house our FUDCon attendees. There are a number of factors to consider, including but not limited to cost and convenience to the FUDCon location.
We hope to have all hotel details and room blocks shortly. You can bank on more news the moment that happens. If you need to list your attendance as "tentative" or if you have special needs (or can offer lodging), please feel free to list that information as well.
= = = = = [1] For people who don’t know, “shoulder dates” are dates surrounding a booked event, for which the hotel guarantees rooms at the event rate. Because of the business being brought in by the Summit, the hotel will offer the much lower Summit rates for up to three nights around the conference for people who extend their stays.
