#45: Sponsorship/Funding for FAD EMEA BUDAPEST 2015 ---------------------+---------------------- Reporter: rgeri77 | Owner: decause Status: new | Priority: normal Component: General | Resolution: Keywords: | ---------------------+---------------------- Comment (by pfrields): Replying to [comment:12 mattdm]: > I agree with Josh; a FAD isn't meant to be a mini-conference — we have Flock and FUDCon for that. It's to help people to get people together to hack on things. A small social event (dinner, usually) is totally reasonable, as is lunch during the day. Agreed -- the concept of the FAD has always been to concentrate on concrete work. It's different from a wide-ranging conference. A FAD focuses on project work involving people who, for the most part, regularly collaborate together. Originally they were designed to bring people together within a close geographic area, to keep costs down. Nowadays we have quite a lot of collaborators from different regions so that's harder to do. But we should always be looking to keep costs reasonable. It's quite reasonable to have the project foot the bill for some cheap group lunches (pizza, sandwiches, whatever is customary in the region), as well as a social dinner. Entertainment should be at the travelers' discretion and cost. That's not unreasonable considering how much is being spent to bring people together and keep them fed and lodged. -- Ticket URL: <https://fedorahosted.org/council/ticket/45#comment:13> council <https://fedorahosted.org/council> Fedora Council Public Tickets _______________________________________________ council-discuss mailing list council-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/council-discuss The Fedora Project's mission is to lead the advancement of free and open source software and content as a collaborative community.
