Revision as of 15:38, 17 December 2014

This is the main page for the 2015 Design Team FAD, which is a FAD (a mini-conference) focused on working on a roadmap for the Fedora Design Team over the next year or two.

  • Location: Red Hat's Westford Office at 314 Littleton Road, Westford Massachusetts USA
  • Date: January 16th - 18th 2015

Purpose / Agenda

We will meet starting Friday morning (~9 AM) and work until late afternoon each day; we will likely break a bit early on Sunday to allow for travellers to get to the airport.

Here the high-level agenda items we'd like to cover over the 3 days:

Travel & Accomodation

Boston Logan International Airport (map), +1-800-23-LOGAN (56426), (IATA: BOS) is the main gateway to Boston and New England and around 40 miles from Westford.

Detailed Work Items & Final Attendees

    • Emichan (local) Confirmed? (Y/N)
    • others?
  6. Other considerations
    • Westford is not very walkable. We could save on car rentals by booking everyone at the same hotel and having folks go together. Maybe one or two minivans instead of multiple smaller rentals. Mizmo is local but has a small car with a carseat so it will be hard for her to help on the transportation front; Ryan is local but does not have a car. Transportation from airport could be taxi or bus. (need more research)
      • Minivan rented on AVIS Boston Logan, from 16th-19th 597$ pay later, 477$ pay now, without taxes
      • Minivan rented on Budget Boston Logan, from 16th-19th 553$ pay later, 498$ pay now, without taxes, full size van is cheaper 372$ at the counter and 334$ pay now

Breakfast

Red Hat has an arrangement with the Westford Regency hotel to provide everyone free breakfast as part of your hotel booking. Each person staying at the Regency will receive breakfast meal tickets; when you wake in the morning you can use these tickets at the hotel restaurant breakfast service.

Lunch

We will have catered lunches with vegetarian and vegan options available. We will be covering the cost of lunch for attendees:

  • Friday: Chipotle Burritos (http://chipotle.com) Everyone can custom-order their own burrito. (~$100 for 12)
  • Saturday: Subway Sandwiches (http://subway.com) 15 full-size subs a mix of veggie, turkey, ham. (Note for Mo: chelmford location has free delivery for > $75) (Cost: ~$82)
  • Sunday: Panera Sandwiches (http://www.panerabread.com) ~$110, free delivery

Snacks/Beverages

Red Hat provides snacks and beverages in the building kitchenettes.

Dinner / Social Event

We can have a private room at Karma which is not far down the same road as the office. It is a nice upscale restaurant with a lot of options for everybody. Conservatively guesstimating $30/head for 13 people in-person plus 15% gratuity, we're at just under $450 for such an event.

Dinner options for other days: Exception Chipotle, anticipating $16/head for dinner. Chipotle will probably be closer to $10/head. Options include:

mizmo s / xs M
Suchakra L / XL
banas M

Budget

If you want funding from Red Hat, ask the Community Architecture (old page) -- (new page) team. If you can find other ways to fund your FAD, that's great too!
