I don't see them in my archives, but perhaps those are incomplete. For diligence, the questions were: yes, you did as I gave him in a phone call > > * "One detail I'm interested in is the plan for 100 attendees but travel subsidies for just 12, if I'm reading <https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon:Bid_for_PhnomPenh_2016> right. How are those dozen selected? Are the other 88 expected to be locals, or will they be paying their own way? Is the target existing Fedora users, or new ones?" ok first of all, exact this question was answered to Tuan 4 times and he still continued to ask it and people get bored to answer it. But now here the explanation. What we did is just looking for the numbers of people we had at previous FUDCon and we found out it was between 40 and 80, and then we calculated simple with 100 as it easier in calculation. After we calculated all costs, we did know what is left for sponsoring travel and that is just 6k $ and my experience is that you have to calculate an average of 500$ for international travel. If there are more people travelling cheaper (bus ticket eg from Vietnam cost just 15$ 5hr trip) there is more money for the sponsoring part, the same for hotel, lunch and the other stuff which is calculated, lesser used there means more money for the travel part. > > * "I'd also be interested in the suggestion of synergy with the Barcamp. If there's 3500-tech-interested people, why not focus on that event entirely and try to reach more than 100?" we will reach more then 100, the 100 are our own people, we will have a booth at Barcamp and our talks are open, so what you expect? that we offer people from the provinces to travel on our costs and pay them hotel? A thing I would not do, we have nt enough money for our own people, to help them with travel. I dont know if you are familiar with the concept of an Barcamp in general, its a little bit different t what we are used to, there are only a few fixed talks when it starts, so the plan is we renting addionally room at the Barcamp venue and make our talks in there but we counting in the Barcamp schedule, getting also published on their schedule and so on, I dont know what more synergy you have in mind there, maybe you explain it to me. -- Ticket URL: <https://fedorahosted.org/council/ticket/49#comment:2> 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 http://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/council-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx The Fedora Project's mission is to lead the advancement of free and open source software and content as a collaborative community.
