Hi Bex and Alick, We already add the goal of this FUDCon APAC 2017 and why we held in Depok City in the wiki. Fo the concern about team : We only two for now just for prepare bid proposal. After we get green light about it. We plan ask student council in University to join as Local Committee. And we plan open registration for volunteer. We need about 10% from total participants, around 30-35 people. For Ticket sale like bex already mention before : Ticket sale is commonly in Indonesia. Why not set as free? Because when we set free, people just register but not come for event. It is make difficult for local committee. This decision (Ticket Sale) base on our experience from GNOME.Asia Summit 2015 at Depok, and openSUSE.Asia Summit 2016 last October in Yogyakarta. Travel expense just for speaker and some people who make contribution for Fedora (Amba, etc). For ordinary people, they just come with their budget. We will spend budget from ticket sale to t-shirt and meal. Why we cover meal for each attendee? Because it will save time for people search food court and keep attendee in conference venue. Thank You. On Thu, Dec 8, 2016 at 1:57 AM, Brian Exelbierd <bex(a)pobox.com> wrote: > On Wed, Dec 7, 2016, at 07:48 PM, Alick Zhao wrote: > > 2. Ticket sale.
