Hi
For those who haven't seen the logs about the planning for FUDCon India, I recommend reading them at
http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/india/2010-March/003169.html
The gist of it in my understanding is that, we are likely to have FUDCon in India next year and instead have a FAD or a series of them depending on budget and opportunities this year. FAD is focussed on pulling in together existing contributors to get some work and FUDCon has a larger agenda and budget requirements so it helps to plan in advance. I would like to propose that we have a FAD on first or second week of May, the weekends are good and we can host it in Red Hat office in Pune. The dates are either, 8 and 9th or 15th and 16th of May 2010. Reusing the agenda we planned for FUDCon, I see the following as what we can accomplish:
Fedora Tour - Ankur Sinha Website improvements - Hiemanshu Dorrie - Shreyank Gupta Fedora ARM ? The Marvel team who does the ARM porting is in Pune Susmit - Are you going to be in India in May?
I think we can sponsor travel and accommodation for *existing contributors* who want to attend and *get specific work done*. If these dates are not good for any of the contributors here or if anyone else wants to join or have questions, please let me know here or offlist. Thanks
Rahul

hey,
thanks for putting forward this proposal
BUT..
May = end sem exams till the 21st :(
If this is the first in a series of FADs, i can always join in the other ones.

Which dates are convenient? Those are not concrete ones and can be adjusted.

@Ankur
If everyone agrees we can probably delay it by another week after your exams are done.
@Rahul
Great idea, but according to me a 2 day period can be too small. Most of the time will be spent only getting people used to the topics or what we want to do etc. For eg, I spent a day only getting used to the dorrie code during FOSS.in, and another couple of days to actually get something done.

Well, the point is to give some face to face time and get working on things you are already familiar with for the most part. If you the agenda ahead of time, you can learn whatever is needed to get it done on your own as well ahead of time, right? If not is not the weekend, getting time off work and get the space for this meeting is a little bit more tricky but I think we can extend it to a day further is that is desirable.

That would be great. Weekends are fine.
@ Rahul I can help out in some packaging if that is in the agenda too. It is very difficult to get time out for Fedora stuff during normal working days. Weekends are also quite full. I guess if we have this dedicated time, we can do a lot of work. Plus there will be people to help you out as well.

It is in the agenda if you want it to be (ie) anyone interested says, here are the specific things I commit myself to doing that weekend and then it becomes part of the agenda. Our funding comes from
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Community_Architecture
So sooner, I get the schedule and participants, confirmed, the better I can plan for it. It seems Ankur Sinha can't make it in the proposed dates. Ankur, can you suggest alternative weekends that are workable for you?

hey,
Sorry for the delayed response. Since my end sems finish on the 21st, I wouldn't be able to make it on a weekend before that. Weekends after the 21st would be great. 29th-30th?
thanks !
