Did I miss the answers to the questions Matthew asked? 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.
