#29: Badge inserts for attendees -------------------------------+-------------------------------------------- Reporter: pfrields | Owner: jsmith, rbergero, rrix Type: Task | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Tempe 2011: Site logistics complete Component: FUDCon Tempe 2011 | Keywords: -------------------------------+-------------------------------------------- * http://www.amazon.com/Avery-White-Badge-Insert- Refills/dp/B00007LVDM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=office- products&qid=1282329496&sr=8-1 * http://www.inkhead.com/custom-lanyard/badge-holders/clear-badge-pouch- holder_pv-1484-0.html We'll need to purchase inserts for the badges, and print them up before hand with pre-registration information. We should wait as long as possible to do this, but no later. ;-) Really, that's around a week or so before the event, it doesn't need to be the night before. What has worked well in previous FUDCons is to make sure each badge includes a marking for the attendee's indicated vegetarian status (V, or VV for vegan), and their shirt size. When that's printed right on the badge, it makes check-in at the registration desk super-easy for everyone. Another marking or format can delineate pre-registered people versus late registrants. That can help with some of the swag giveaways and making sure that everyone gets what they expect. -- Ticket URL: <https://fedorahosted.org/fudcon-planning/ticket/29> fudcon-planning <http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon> FUDCon event planning

(Please estimate the costs in USD: hotel $X, travel $Y) Not sure - plane fare it looks like on Southwest is about $200 + fees when booked on the web. AA doesn't seem to have any sort of evening flight out to NYC on Monday. Any of EWR, JFK, or LGA would work. Hotel is whatever the hotel ends up being, double occupancy :) * If we cannot provide a full subsidy, will a partial subsidy be helpful? (Yes/No) Of course :) * What will you accomplish by being at FUDCon? (Please be as specific as possible, since this is the most important factor in granting requests.) Potential Board meeting as is traditional at FUDCon, as well as Infrastructure hackfest around whatever has come up at that point, and most importantly Infrastructure support for FUDCon Live. Also NA Ambassador items as they come up. * If you are requesting airfare, include complete flight information such as flight numbers, desired departure and arrival airports, and times. Also let us know if you have specific time restrictions. No specific restrictions that I'm aware of at this point. * Do you need a visa or other official processing before you can attend FUDCon? If so, approximately how long does that processing take? No requirements for a US citizen to travel in the US, I hope :). Dunno about those crazy AZ folks though :) * Include any additional, relevant information. None that I can think of.... -- Ticket URL: <https://fedorahosted.org/fudcon-planning/ticket/35> fudcon-planning <http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon> FUDCon event planning

American Citizen. * Include any additional, relevant information. There's a lot of reasons I'd like to go * I'm working on a Web Events platform, called Timpus[1], and getting in touch with other ambassadors and marketers would help make this tool as useful as I possibly can make it. * Regarding Timpus, some sort of a Hackfest would be welcome. I expect to have an early demo of Timpus by the end of September btw. * I'm also interested in packaging tutorials/conferences, as I don't think I'm good enough a packager, though I manage 3-4 packages. * To meet fellow Fedora Developers, as I (As well as DanielBruno and Gomix) administer the ProyectoFedora.org infrastructure, and there's a lot of things I'd like to discuss with them. * Learn about organizing events, I'd like to do a FAD in Mexico.

(Please estimate the costs in USD: hotel $X, travel $Y) only air travel is fine for me, I'll search a non-sponsored room partner I'm coming from Brussels, and with British airlines it comes down too €535.18 or 679.250456 US$ on August 25. * If we cannot provide a full subsidy, will a partial subsidy be helpful? (Yes/No) Yes * What will you accomplish by being at FUDCon? (Please be as specific as possible, since this is the most important factor in granting requests.) I'm planning to give 2 or 3 talks: ** How to live with SELinux at the moment, I am giving this presentation all over Europe, but I want to show it to an American audiance too.. here is an abstract: Security Enhanced Linux, is disabled in most cases due to fact that most people do not take the time to understand how to work with SELinux. However security increases, by keeping SELinux on, as all applications are segregated therefor even if a intruder were to enter it would only affect that application. In RHEL,Fedora most applications are predefined in SELinux and can be adjusted, however other applications can be added easily with the integrated tools, allowing you to run any custom application. The presentation explains what SELinux is, how it works, how to implement the predefined policies and how to create custom policies. ** My vision on the future of the Fedora project My vision about the non technical challenges the Fedora Project encounters (marketing, ambassadors, ...), how we can anticipate on it, what to change, what is good, brain storming, making things happen. ** intro talk about Fedora Linux installation, and basic configuration, like I did last year, but in one hour in stead of 2 hours ** Syncing with Ryan Rix get the guidelines settled for the Campus Ambassador project + review the first months that are happening now * If you are requesting airfare, include complete flight information such as flight numbers, desired departure and arrival airports, and times. Also let us know if you have specific time restrictions. Brussels -> London: BA0393 (departure: 12:45 27 Jan // arrival: 13:05 27 Jan) London -> Phoenix: BA0289 (departure: 15:05 27 Jan // arrival: 18:40 27 Jan) Phoenix -> London: BA0288 (departure: 21:15 1 Feb // arrival: 13:55 2 Feb) London -> Brussels: BA0398 (departure: 15:50 2 Feb // arrival: 18:00 2 Feb) * Do you need a visa or other official processing before you can attend FUDCon? If so, approximately how long does that processing take? No reall visa needed, only a registration on an US website that I will enter the country some days in advance. * Include any additional, relevant information. -- Ticket URL: <https://fedorahosted.org/fudcon-planning/ticket/34> fudcon-planning <http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon> FUDCon event planning
