Greetings, FUDCon friends, near and far: As you are probably aware, the 2012 North American FUDCon will be held in Blacksburg, Virginia, on the campus of Virginia Tech. If you are planning on attending, it's never too early to pre-register, and to start thinking about your travel plans. FUDCon Blacksburg will take place January 13-15, 2012. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon:Blacksburg_2012 I'm happy to announce that we are officially accepting subsidy requests for travel to Blacksburg. If you are requesting a subsidy, we just have a few steps that we ask you to follow: 1: Register on the FUDCon: Blacksburg wiki page in the pre-registration area. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon:Blacksburg_2012#Pre-registration 2: Put an X in the $$$ column. 3: Create a funding request ticket in the FUDCon trac at: https://fedorahosted.org/fudcon-planning/wiki/FundingRequest General information about being sponsored can be found at http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Sponsoring_event_attendees . Requests are processed in a first-come, first-served manner, though generally prioritization is giving to local travel over international travel first. Requests will be reviewed by fellow Fedora community members at FUDCon subsidy request meetings over the next few weeks. The first subsidy meeting will take place on Wednesday, November 9th. The time and IRC channel will be announced as we approach that day. As always, participation both in planning as well as subsidy granting is ALWAYS welcome. Please join us on the fudcon-planning mailing list for information about meetings, as well as for general FUDCon updates, and see the "meetings" section of your FUDCon's wiki page for meeting information.
