Charleston sounds like fun although transportation is going to be a nightmare. > Timing wise, we are hopeful that August 9 - 13 (2013) will work for the > main conference, with two days afterwards as optional hack/sprint days. Unfortunately these dates don't work so well for me so I won't be able to attend. I hope others don't have this problem. I really wish this had been discussed in a more open way much earlier. Four-months notice isn't really a lot when you are talking about trying to get a large number of people together during the summer (northern hemisphere, anyway). I also sort of understand why Charleston was chosen (although not Charleston in August!) but there should have been an open bid process so that options could have been discussed more openly. I'm quite disappointed at how this came together and I hope that future events are better planned in the open. - -Eric -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.13 (GNU/Linux) iQGcBAEBCgAGBQJRbbnyAAoJEB/kgVGp2CYvHLYL/RWuQqmWrUke/Q8Xs7xsyLF/ iyiN+ZMLpetoIxBpDvG40c5QO1t4t9Eav0hK1UEFd5rgtIIDIHggHLrDgYIrbMmS duw11ioVvZkXyzE0iH2OyJ4kZjLUV82xXTVrNuygPw5dPPhQR1aBh7eXwG4h67w6 s9oqAB6aHMKTzAk9ihzAbFkDTwLgjJQGKDzvcDfYCPPVExcprmK6TpkNObCEvP+r oSom13CupdZHehEHkiL7NDggws4vpkR6ffcjB+Im24sRGZub40B/QNoNlsWAha03 7zedJQoXXZtqRRguC4Mvhw7wv0ujq7OCeS+4F1IG4o7bRsxmDxsIm4hT9boYXaIT Gcu+qCdazrLqWwohwLTuxKXMPwvQLyc4A5MLYPdozJTs+eDEjLO09WUatJ/aHBgw R7rLGeCGb3TtAa08kUYxsbSxPyv4rIFvKIKkQHLh+pCgGJL374UE1RxRwEPs5qsO /0pRog8qVEmWAeoAqH+kNrXzFczWY8ZbzeDKFinoBA== =FZFi -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ fudcon-planning mailing list [email protected] https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/fudcon-planning
