FUDCon F11 Boston -- News Update! =================================
* All of our location information is confirmed -- we will be holding the conference as predicted, at MIT in the Sloan Building. There will be plentiful space for hackfests and BarCamp sessions over the course of the weekend.
* FUDPub will be held at Flat Top Johnny's on Saturday night (January 10) from 6:00-10:00pm.
* The wiki remains open for registration. Please remember to note your shirt size, whether you prefer vegetarian fare for lunch on Saturday, and any other important information (in the "Comments" section).
* The hotel group rate is good until DECEMBER 19. After that, it will be up to the hotel to decide whether or not to extend their offer of $99/night. So sign up now!
And here's some further news to sweeten the pot -- the One Laptop Per Child and SugarLabs communities will be joining us for FUDCon, to address areas of common interest like packaging and building for these unique projects, and to talk to Fedora community members about getting involved. This should make FUDCon a very exciting event and I look forward to seeing everyone there who can make it!

I apologize for following one announcement with another, but I left out some helpful links and information that could be useful for community members who don't follow the wiki or planet feed.[1]
FUDCon F11 Boston will be held all day January 9-11, 2009, at MIT's Sloan Building as previously noted. You do not need a Fedora account to use the wiki page to pre-register for the conference:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon/FUDConF11
FUDCon, as always, is free of cost and open to anyone to attend. Pre-registration entitles each attendee to a complimentary gift, lunch on Saturday, and dinner and a beverage on Sunday.
Also, please sign up for a BarCamp or hackfest session. These sessions can include any topic around which you want to gather people to collaborate and learn. Many sessions are not announced until the event begins, but pre-announcing them gives other community members a chance to see more reasons why FUDCon is such a worthwhile event for everyone.
Pre-registration will end on or about December 19th, so sign up today.

^^^^^^
Ever have one of those days? This should have read "Saturday night." Pre-registrants get free lunch during the day on Saturday at BarCamp, and dinner and a beverage on Saturday night at FUDPub.
Very sorry for the spam, all.
