It felt like we were getting started half way through the day. ** not taking full advantage of cost of bringing all these people together ** At RDU FUDCon a few times back breakfast was at 8:30 AM and we started at 9:00 AM. ** dgilmore: maybe the key is having breakfast at the event * poelcat: internet speed was a problem (at both the hotel, and at the university) ** could we bring in an outside internet provider at a price that would not kill us? *** mdomsch: possible yes, inexpensive no ** poelcat: setting the ''problem reasons'' aside, the internet is our primary communication and producitivty mechanism so it seems important that it works well ** digilmore: being outside of the US, restricted alternative personal connection methods like WIMAX or phone tethering ** mdomsch: very hard problem to solve when you bring 150-200+ people to an event * '''ACTIONS:''' Board members to send additional feedback to fudcon-planning -at- lists fedoraproject org as appropriate === Updates === https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Desktop/Whiteboards/UpdateExperience https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-advisory-board/2009-October/msg00222.html * pfrields: Talk by McCann + Aillon at FUDCon was interesting because it acknowledges and ties together a lot of common problems with some thoughts on solving them * '''ACTION:''' Paul will break out the sub-thread to it's own topic on f-a-b to restart discussion. * '''ACTION:''' Paul to invite Jon McCann, to expand on (with Chris) the update talk they gave at FUDCon == New issues == === Ad Bard banner offer === * Ad Bard is a FSF-approved free software project advertising network, offering to run a Fedora Project ad banner over January 2010 * We just need to put together a specific sized/formatted ad to link to fp.o * '''ACTION:''' Josh to coordinate with the design team and get something sent out == Next meeting == * Proposed: Thu Dec 17 2009 - 1700 UTC/12:00pm US Eastern -- Paul W.
