It's my pleasure to announce the winning bid for FUDCon Latam 2012 as Margarita Island, Venezuela. FUDCon is the Fedora Users and Developers Conference, a premier Fedora event that is held several times a year in different regions of the world. For more information on premier Fedora events, see the Fedora wiki [0]. As you might imagine, choosing the winning bid was a difficult decision to make, as both bidding teams have put together very compelling bids. I'd like to publicly thank both teams for their hard work and effort. I would also like to take this opportunity to officially open the bidding process for FUDCon EMEA 2012 (for Europe, Middle East, and Africa), as well as re-open the bidding for FUDCon APAC 2012. FUDCon APAC 2012 will likely be held between March 1st and May 31st, and FUDCon EMEA will likely be held between September 1st and October 31st. All bids for both of these FUDCon events should be submitted by January 11, 2012. If you have any questions or concerns regarding FUDCon events, I invite you to subscribe to the FUDCon planning mailing list [1].
