=== Location and Dates ===
FUDCon is the '''''Fedora Users and Developer's Conference''''', an opportunity for all who contribute to or use [[Overview|Fedora]] to meet, learn, plan, and hack. This event is free and is open to everyone. To learn about what a FUDCon is like, you can [http://magazine.redhat.com/2009/02/13/video-fudcon-11/ view a video from the last North American FUDCon].
FUDCon Toronto 2009 is located at Seneca College, Seneca@York campus ([http://tinyurl.com/llwuud map]), from December 5-7, 2009 (Saturday-Monday).  Each day's activities start at '''10:00 a.m. sharp.'''  For best results, arrive around 9:30-9:45 so you have time to get situated, find out where you want to go, and so on.

=== Outreach ===
FUDCon Toronto 2009 will be held at Seneca College, Seneca@York campus ([http://tinyurl.com/llwuud map]), from December 5-7, 2009 (Saturday-Monday).  Saturday's activities start at '''09:30 a.m. sharp.'''  The hackfest activities on Sunday and Monday start at '''10:00 a.m. sharp.'''  For best results, arrive around 9:30-9:45 so you have time to get situated, find out where you want to go, and so on.
We will be doing specific outreach to the following groups:
* Greater Toronto Area Linux Users Group (GTALug, aka TLUG)
* The Red Hat office in Toronto
* Seneca College and other area EDU's


We hope to provide one or two tracks of new-user training that will help people get the most out of Fedora, while showing them some of the benefits of getting involved in the wider open source community.

=== Requesting funding ===
=== Requesting funding (Closed) ===
 
'''The cutoff for funding requests is Thursday Oct 29 at 19:30 UTC.'''
 
Funding decisions are made publicly in our [[FUDCon:FUDCon_Toronto_2009_Planning_meetings|weekly Thursday planning meetings]], to which everyone is invited to attend and participate. Past funding discussions can be seen in the last few [http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fudcon-planning/ meeting logs].
 
In order to apply for funding:


Please put, on your Fedora wiki userpage (or whatever the link for your name in the [[#Pre-registration|Pre-registration table]] leads to), the following information:
'''Requests for funding are now closed.'''
 
# How much funding you need. If the minimum amount of funding you need to come is different from the maximum amount of funding you would like to request, please put both numbers; we'll try to hit the second one as often as possible.
# What you'll be doing at FUDCon - what sessions will you run or help out with, what hackfests will you be participating in and what will you be bringing to the table, what user tracks can you teach?
3. Anything else you think we should know
 
We'll also be expecting every sponsored attendee is also expected to blog about FUDCon on Planet Fedora.
 
Then email Mel (mchua at fedoraproject dot org) and Paul (pfrields at fedoraproject dot org) a notice that your FUDCon funding app is up. The final funding decisions should be made, and status sent out, by midnight UTC on Thursday, Oct 29.

=== Packing List ===
* Passport (if from outside Canada)
* Laptop with 802.11b/g wireless.
** Extension cord (and North American power adapter, if from outside NA).
** Ethernet cable (for hotel and/or hackfest).
** In Firefox, select "about:config" and set the value of <code>network.dns.disableIPv6</code> to <code>true</code> to work around an IPv6-timeout-before-IPv4 problem.
* Credit card (VISA or MasterCard) or small amount of Canadian cash. (ATMs are common, ones operated by banks generally have lower service fees).
* Your presentation slides or anything needed for the hackfest.
* Casual clothes for the event.
* Warm clothes for outdoors.
** [http://www.weatheroffice.gc.ca/city/pages/on-143_metric_e.html Temperatures] are currently a few degrees above the historic average, just above freezing. No significant snow yet but it could come anytime.
** Warm coat, mits, scarf/tuque recommended, especially for [[Skating]].
* Optional: Skates (or rent them at [[Skating|Nathan Phillips Square]]).
If staying at the hotel:
* Optional: swimsuit, gym clothes.
=== Cell Phones ===
If you live outside of Canada, call your cell phone service provider and add their International or Canada-specific rate plan add-on - it may save you a lot of money.  For Sprint, the call rate drops from $0.59/min to $0.20/min for voice calls.  Sprint drops from $0.03/KB to $0.002/KB for data.  For AT&T the rate is $20/MB if you don't have a pre-paid data plan.

|-
| Package and update flow for maintainers || You just became a packager, or like me, you have maintained several packages for years, but you don't do this as your day job. Things change and documentation is scattered. What systems do you need to use? What tools are there to keep track of your tags, packages, branches, updates, abi changes. What are all these different package queues and how do you keep track of these? I dont have all the answers, and still find myself lost on too many occasions. I hope this talk will attract some junior and senior packagers to try and make a "package life cycle" diagram for packagers or perhaps some additional tools to assist with Fedora's package flow || New and experienced Packagers || [[User:pwouters|Paul Wouters]]

On Sunday 6 December after the day's hackfest sessions, we will be taking a group down to [http://www.toronto.ca/city_hall_tour/nps.htm Nathan Philips Square] (in front of Toronto City Hall) where there's an outdoor skating rink.  Skate rentals are available for something less than $10.
On Sunday 6 December after the day's hackfest sessions, we will be taking a group down to [http://www.toronto.ca/city_hall_tour/nps.htm Nathan Phillips Square] (in front of Toronto City Hall) where there's an outdoor skating rink.  Skate rentals are available for something less than $10.  We will take the TTC (bus -> subway) and it will cost $2.75 each way. Exact change or over payment is required for the TTC.


Because it will be late by the time we start skating, we may want to have a quick dinner near City Hall before skating.
After skating, we will head to [http://www.les3brasseurs.ca/ The 3 Brewers] pub/restaurant which is about a 10 minute walk from Nathan Phillips Square.  Everyone is responsible for covering their own costs.  In case anyone is hungry before/during skaing, there are trucks adjacent to the rink which serve fries, hot dogs, burgers, etc.  The trucks will only accept cash.


In order to enable travel directly downtown from campus, arrangements have been made for laptops to be securely stored at Seneca (with options for delivery to the hotel hack room Sunday night or pickup at campus Monday morning).

Planning meetings

FUDCon is the Fedora Users and Developer's Conference, an opportunity for all who contribute to or use Fedora to meet, learn, plan, and hack. This event is free and is open to everyone. To learn about what a FUDCon is like, you can view a video from the last North American FUDCon.

Event Details

FUDCon Toronto 2009 will be held at Seneca College, Seneca@York campus (map), from December 5-7, 2009 (Saturday-Monday). Saturday's activities start at 09:30 a.m. sharp. The hackfest activities on Sunday and Monday start at 10:00 a.m. sharp. For best results, arrive around 9:30-9:45 so you have time to get situated, find out where you want to go, and so on.

Pre-registration

Please add your name to the list if you will attend. Registration is free and open to everyone.

Also, please indicate the following:

  • Put an X in the $$$ column if you need funding to attend, and follow the instructions at #Requesting funding (Closed). We'll use these answers to help figure out budgeting for the event. We are no longer accepting funding requests
  • Put a V in the Veg column if you would like vegetarian fare for any meals that we provide during the event. If you prefer vegan fare, please mark that column VV. We will do our best to make sure everyone is accommodated!
  • Put your T-shirt size in the Size column, so we can have an idea about what sizes to have available.
  • If you are looking to share a room, mark an X in the "Roomshare?" column.

Use the Comments section for anything else you think organizers need to know, or to offer or ask for space or rides.


The Hotel Booked column values are: Y for Yes (booked); NA for Not applicable (local, or staying with friends); or blank for pending.


Badges have been printed.
Changes to the table below will not be reflected on the name badges. You are still welcome to sign up and participate -- you can create a handwritten badge at the event. FUDCon is free of cost for everyone.

Requesting funding (Closed)

Requests for funding are now closed.

Bus Travel

A bus has been arranged for attendees from the Boston and Westford MA areas. In order to make sure we'll be all set at the border, passports will be required to board the bus.

If you intend to ride the bus, you need to sign up on the bus riders list!

Bus Wardens

Mel Chua has agreed to act as one of the "bus wardens" for the trip, to make sure that everyone who gets on the bus in Massachusetts gets off the bus in Toronto, and vice versa. Other volunteers are welcome. The bus wardens will also ensure that the driver and passengers are kept informed of travel times, passenger needs such as stops, and other useful information.

Stephen Smoogen volunteers to be bus warden, as does Ian Weller.

Air Travel

Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ) is served by most major carriers.

Alternately, you can fly into the Toronto City Centre Airport (downtown) from Boston, Chicago (Midway), New York (Newark), Montreal, Quebec, Halifax, Thunder Bay, or St. John's via Porter Airlines. Rates are fairly good, e.g., $95 each way to/from Boston, plus taxes.

From most US locations, it is significantly cheaper to fly to Buffalo Niagara International Airport (BUF) and then take a low-cost bus carrier such as Megabus (under $20 each way)

Border Crossing

  • Information on entering Canada including documentation requirements and restrictions on firearms and other possessions.
  • Information on entering the USA - note that US citizens now require a passport or other approved documentation to return to the USA regardless of the mode of transportation.
  • If you plan on taking a plane to the US and then riding the bus to Toronto, you may need special documentation and a transit visa. Consult the appropriate authorities in the USA and Canada well in advance of travel!

Lodging

Lodging will be at the Hilton Garden Inn Vaughan. The nightly rate for a single or double occupancy room (1 king/2 queens) is CA$105 before November 13. (Note: if you did not make reservations before November 13 and would still like to receive the group room rate, please contact Paul Frields (stickster), Mel Chua (mchua), or Chris Tyler (ctyler) on #fudcon-planning on freenode -- the hotel has offered to extend the group rate for any additional registrations, but this must be done through the group sales coordinator rather than through the web site).

Breakfast buffet vouchers will be available for CA$6 each (regular price $14.95) during check-in.

Hack Room

Suite 316 at the hotel has been set aside as a hospitality suite/hack room/social space for Saturday through Monday evenings. The Hack 'n' Snack will be held here.

Ground Transportation in Toronto

The FUDCon campus location is well-served by public transit -- over 1700 vehicles a day stop at the adjacent transit loop. For more information:

  • Toronto - TTC website - MyTTC trip planner
  • Southern Ontario - GO Transit -NOTE: GO doesn't seem to have any buses or trains stopping at the York Campus on Sat.
  • York Region, North of Toronto - including the Hilton Garden Inn hotel - YRT/VIVA

For specific transit instructions between the campus, hotel, airports, and coach terminal, see FUDCon:Toronto 2009 Transportation.

Parking

Parking in the Student Services parking garage adjacent to Seneca@York is abundant but costs $14/day.

Parking at the hotel and FUDPub is free.

Networking

Campus: The Seneca@York campus has wireless networking (802.11b/g) and web authentication information will be available at registration. Wired access will also be available in some rooms (bring an ethernet cable) to reduce load on the wireless network.

Hotel: Wireless access (802.11b/g) is available in all public areas and guest rooms; wired access is also available in guest rooms. No authentication is required.

Packing List

  • Passport (if from outside Canada)
  • Laptop with 802.11b/g wireless.
    • Extension cord (and North American power adapter, if from outside NA).
    • Ethernet cable (for hotel and/or hackfest).
    • In Firefox, select "about:config" and set the value of network.dns.disableIPv6 to true to work around an IPv6-timeout-before-IPv4 problem.
  • Credit card (VISA or MasterCard) or small amount of Canadian cash. (ATMs are common, ones operated by banks generally have lower service fees).
  • Your presentation slides or anything needed for the hackfest.
  • Casual clothes for the event.
  • Warm clothes for outdoors.
    • Temperatures are currently a few degrees above the historic average, just above freezing. No significant snow yet but it could come anytime.
    • Warm coat, mits, scarf/tuque recommended, especially for Skating.
  • Optional: Skates (or rent them at Nathan Phillips Square).

If staying at the hotel:

  • Optional: swimsuit, gym clothes.

Cell Phones

If you live outside of Canada, call your cell phone service provider and add their International or Canada-specific rate plan add-on - it may save you a lot of money. For Sprint, the call rate drops from $0.59/min to $0.20/min for voice calls. Sprint drops from $0.03/KB to $0.002/KB for data. For AT&T the rate is $20/MB if you don't have a pre-paid data plan.

FUDBus Topics Toshio Kuratomi Hack some packagedb code, stabilize 0.5.x, work on Python3 Guidelines Rm. ?
Packaging Guidelines Reorganization Toshio Kuratomi The packaging guidelines are hard to navigate. We need to reorganize them so that packagers and reviewers can easily find what they're looking for. I (and any other Packaging Committee members that are present) would like to have a brainstorming session with other packagers to come up with problems. Then sit down with people from the Documentation Project to work on reorganizing the pages to address those issues. Small room and a whiteboard Rm. ?
Fedora Event Splash Clint Savage Ambassadors need some good tools to help recruit attendees at conferences, LUG activities and other useful events. F-E-S plans to be a portal to this sort of need and will provide a front end for each conference for attendees to get more information about groups to join, etc. In addition, integration into Fedora Community to help manage the new recruits, mentorees, etc. Rm. ?
Fedora Eclipse plugins Andrew Overholt & Elliott Baron Elliott has written the basis for koji and bodhi integration with Eclipse. We need to update these, write tests, verify usability, and generally polish and plan for the future. This will be a great opportunity to see how easy it is to hack on Eclipse plugins and will be an excellent alternative to the command-line for new packagers.

Yum miscellaneous Seth Vidal Since it is what I'm always doing I'll probably be working on yum and the related tools(yum, yum-utils, urlgrabber, createrepo, preupgrade). Anyone is welcome to come along and ask questions on how to write their own tools using the yum/createrepo/etc apis. Since this is over 2 months away I have no idea what I'll be working on. comfort in python Rm. ?
Eclipse SystemTap script integration Charley Wang & Roland Grunberg Charley and Roland have been working on an API for adding SystemTap user-space scripts for launch via Eclipse. The API is set up to handle real-time or post-script processing on any C/C++ project in the Eclipse workspace, and we're working on easily accessible Zest integration. This is a fun opportunity to play around with Eclipse plugins and stap scripts at the same time!

Bodhi Update System Luke Macken Hacking on Bodhi v2.0, new features, fixing bugs, learning, etc. Python, and ideally TurboGears2 Rm. ?
SystemTap Static Probes Mark Wielaard Frank Eigler William Cohen Systemtap allows event tracing of programs when they have static probes inserted. This allows for tracing specifics of an application on a higher level that is meaningful to the application user so they don't have to know the exact source code details for tracing what is happening. We want to go over the packages in the SystemTap Static Probes feature list. But everybody is encouraged to bring their package and hack together to make it more observable. Having followed the Technical Session on How to extend your application to improve observability with Systemtap would be good. Rm. ?

Documentation

Logging everything at FAD EMEA via IRC was a complete success. It enabled us to integrate people better in the conversation flow without being present. I (Yaakov Nemoy) want to do this again for FUDCon on a larger scale. If we include the streaming audio and video solution we had in Boston last winter, we can cover as many bases as possible. In order to cover as many sessions as possible, we need a few things:

  • Volunteers - Yes, You. If you're not planning on doing too many sessions, volunteer to show up with your laptop and fingers ready for typing
  • A/V Equipment - Let that inner nerd shine
  • Bandwidth - Can we make sure we can get the QoS guarantees we need to keep the a/v flowing smoothly?

The planned structure at the moment is to provide one irc channel per room. We can name them after the actual rooms, so it's easy to see the traffic based on the posted schedule. This has the added advantage of enabling people to participate in more than one session at a time.

If you are willing to volunteer, please put your name on the list below

Name Help you're willing to bring
Yaakov Nemoy Coordinating the effort and IRC logging
Mel Chua Livetranscribing sessions I'm present in; also willing to sort/clean-up wiki notes afterwards (on the FUDBus ride out).
Ian Weller Wiki cleanup on the FUDBus home sounds awesome.
Bert Desmet Livetranscribing sessions I'm present in; also willing to sort/clean-up wiki notes afterwards. + I can bring a standard webcam, and use my laptop to stream
Pascal Calarco Livetranscribing sessions I'm present in; also willing to sort/clean-up wiki notes afterwards. I also can bring a standard webcam, and use my laptop to stream
Matt Domsch Video conversion and posting. Need other people to bring video cameras.
Adam Miller IRC logging and any other tasks that I may be able to help with as they are presented.

Social Events

Saturday, December 5

FUDPub

Following the day of technical sessions, we'll be moving the fun to Dave and Buster's. We'll provide food, pool and snooker tables, and non-alcoholic beverages for the first 130 registrants (up to the "130 mark" in the pre-registration table). There's also a full bar available for those so inclined, and a midway full of other entertainment options!

Sunday, December 6

Skating

On Sunday 6 December after the day's hackfest sessions, we will be taking a group down to Nathan Phillips Square (in front of Toronto City Hall) where there's an outdoor skating rink. Skate rentals are available for something less than $10. We will take the TTC (bus -> subway) and it will cost $2.75 each way. Exact change or over payment is required for the TTC.

After skating, we will head to The 3 Brewers pub/restaurant which is about a 10 minute walk from Nathan Phillips Square. Everyone is responsible for covering their own costs. In case anyone is hungry before/during skaing, there are trucks adjacent to the rink which serve fries, hot dogs, burgers, etc. The trucks will only accept cash.

In order to enable travel directly downtown from campus, arrangements have been made for laptops to be securely stored at Seneca (with options for delivery to the hotel hack room Sunday night or pickup at campus Monday morning).

Monday, December 7

Hack 'n' Snack

On Monday 7 December, there will be appetizers in the hack room/hospitality suite at the hotel from 8-9 pm, courtesy of the Hilton Garden Inn. This will include a selection of bruchetta, melon and prosciutto, cheese platter, crudite platter, and finger sandwiches.
