Dear FPL and Council, On behalf of APAC community, I would like to propose this idea to you for approval. You can see all other comments here [1]. Once it is approved, according to FUDCon Bid process [2], we will need FPL to send a call for bidding to start the process. Please let us know if you have any questions.

Hi, Credit goes to Sirko for the original idea - he suggested this at the Phnom Penh FAD last year and I think it's a great idea that we should probably think deeper about and act on before it is forgotten. The current call for bid for FUDCon happened in November, got awarded in January and is happening in June. Overall we have about 6 months to get everything in place to do the event, which is just about enough time for teams that have experience and resources in organizing events. However, it could be better. We could open the bid for the next FUDCon for the region ~2-3 months before the dates of the current FUDCon and after discussions, announce the winner for the bid at the current FUDCon. That would give the next team about a year to get everything in place. That is, we could make a call for bids for FUDCon APAC 2016 about now (maybe last week or March or beginning of April) and time discussions such that we reach a decision just before FUDCon Pune at the end of June. We could then announce the venue for the next FUDCon APAC chapter during the event, probably at the close of the second or the last day. It won't be much of a surprise for those who attend the APAC ambassador meetings or for FAmSCO or the FPL, but it could become a nice little tradition that we form for the event. This could also be adopted by FUDCon LATAM or even Flock. Thoughts?
