FAD Yogyajarta is being planned on 23-24 Jul 2016 for APAC budget planning session.
In today's APAC Ambassador's meeting, it was discussed and proposed that it'll be better if we could shift the event to Jakarta, on 09 - 10 Jul 2016.
New proposed dates: 09 - 10 July 2016 New Proposed venue: Jakarta, Indonesia (for better flight connectivity)
In case, above change is not feasible/doable, we need a backup plan for another city in the APAC region.
<gnokii> options are only Vietnam, Malaysia, Cambodia, Myanmar and China right now
Your inputs/comments/suggestions are requested here and are welcome.
Thank you. --- [*] https://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora- meeting/2016-04-29/apac_2016-04-29.2016-04-29-05.00.log.html

Comment (by zsun):
Although for backup, I'd mention the most difficult problem regarding China: Visa. Only Singapore, Japan and Brunei citizens are conditional visa-free to enter China. Others should apply for visa and it takes some time. Please take this into consideration when deciding the backup.

Excellent! Thanks so much for compiling these details.
I guess Malaysia might be good option, considering flight connectivity etc.
Thank you.

yes , can host this ..
though i will need to get some additional hands to help.
Is there a FAD organizing page somewhere? Need to check what are the tasks i need to do besides confirming venue, coordinating flight, visa invitation letter, and accommodation.
How many will be coming from India? (as this is the only one that might face visa issues)

Hi all,
I'm waiting for final list of participants as that is the current main blocker. Other tasks like booking for flight and booking hotel cant be done until that is settled.
Currently looking at the wiki, only 3 applicants. Can help me with getting the list ready?. We are already behind schedule in confirming participants.

It was due for last(27 May 2016) APAc meeting; But There was only me and Danishka who joined, so it was called off. I'll send out an email announcing the meet-up and call for participation.

@Hui Ren,
Bus is preferable because it brings you straight to the middle of KL, nearby the office, while flight will get you to either subang (~50KM away) or KLIA (~80KM away). I suggesting checking out aeroline as that bus is more comfortable and have predictable schedule compared to normal busses.
