Re: Marketing FAD 2010 - First Brainstorm
I would be interested but is there a point in adding myself? I didn't see anyone outside US. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Marketing_FAD_2010#Attendees Henrik is in Germany, everyone else is spread as far apart across the USA as you can go (Poelstra and I are about 3,000 miles apart), and we will definitely be having a remote participation component for Pascal. Go for it! --Mel -- Fedora-marketing-list mailing list Fedora-marketing-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-marketing-list

We'll certainly set aside budget for this event from our "Premier Fedora Events" bucket, and given the nature of the event, most of that budget will probably be spent on travel/lodging sponsorships. I'm pretty sure that Henrik was joking with his suggestion of Hawaii. :) I think the best way to start thinking about a location is to first build up an idea of who *wants* to attend, and then figure out a few different date options for the event, and see which one is best. Given what we've done at FUDCon, we know that it's possible for remotees to participate fairly extensively in the event as well, with gobby, streaming, or Fedora Talk.

Re: Marketing FAD 2010 - First Brainstorm
I'll add this to the wiki, but just wanted to throw this out there - I know there is probably (a) a budget of sorts, and (b) budgets for a lot of us who wouldn't have "corporate sponsorship" from our employer (ie - students and such) - so while Hawaii does sound absolutely fabulous, a ticket from Phoenix to Hawaii during that time (which is spring break here in the US for a lot of folks, meaning travel prices are higher) is in the $650 range, and from Boston to Hawaii is even uglier (think more like 800). So as much as it pains me to say it since it does sound reeeallly nice... we should probably consider something, you know, slightly less exotic in the spirit of allowing more people to come participate and/or saving that budget for allowing people to come / participate in fudcons of the future. :) That said: Las Vegas will have somewhat pleasant weather in March (better than, say, Boston, I'd venture); an abundance of decently priced hotel rooms, food options galore, conference space galore, a lovely international airport with cheap transportation, and plenty to do/see (even for our underage friends!). Otherwise, I'd suggest a coastal city with a Big Airport for ease of travel for any international friends we may have; Boston, Atlanta, Seattle, Vancouver come to mind.
