FUDCon (the Fedora Users and Developers Conference) is the premier Fedora event. We typically have a FUDCon event in North America, Latin America, and Europe each year. This year, I'm pleased to announce that we'll also be having a FUDCon event in the Asia-Pacific region.
I've confirmed that we have budget set aside for a FUDCon in the Asia-Pacific region, and I'm now soliciting bids for FUDCon APAC. Bids should be created on the Fedora wiki, and a link to the bid mailed to the fudcon-planning list. All bids should be completed by June 23rd. Soon after the bidding process has closed, I'll meet together with FAMSCo, the Ambassadors in that region, and our primary corporate sponsor to pick the winning location. After the location has been selected, we'll invite people to start registering and Due to the details of our budget, the time frame for FUDCon APAC this year will likely be in either November or December. Next year, I'll work to try to spread the FUDCon events around a bit more evenly, so that we can have one FUDCon event roughly each quarter.
The bidding process is described in more detail at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon_bid_process. Any interested parties are invited to submit their bids up until June 23rd. If you have any questions or concerns, please bring them up on the fudcon-planning mailing list.
I look forward to seeing your proposals!
