Todo items

Events

• Have we been at Fosscomm Greece in 2012?
• Froscon 2012 is not in the events list
• Did FSF-OSSC take place? Were we there? It's not in the list of events
• FSCons 2012 is not in events list. Who was theree?

Budget

• Premier events budget process (see Budget for this FAD and FAmSCo ticket 296
  • FADs should no longer be premier events because the premier events process is broken.
• Ticket should state who approved what when! (link ot meeting minutes)
• Fedora does not feed you -> exception for contributors dinners etc.
• What about cheeting? You can ask 5 different people for USD 499 each and bypass the UDS 2000 limit.
• Even peer approvals need a ticket. Person who approves an expense needs to state that in the ticket (and not the requester).
• Complete budget vs. several tickets: Event owner will request budget for his event. Attendees who need sponsorship need to file their requests in different tickets, because they are approved/denied on an individual base. Individual tickets should block the main event ticket.
• Who is managing the "discretionary spending"?

Wiki

[[1]] still mentions the NPO and needs update: See NA page for example.

• Wiki cleanup for budget related pages: Consolidate
  • Reimbursements
  • Sponsoring_event_attendees plus local pages
  • Budget
  • Community_Architecture_expenses
• OSAS page needs love.

Ideas

• Buy 100 Raspberry Pies plus blue cases with Fedora logo. Have a raffle and give away 10 on each major event.
• Demo laptops for EMEA. AFAIK NA got some used Thinkpads from RH. Ask inode0 about it.

Misc

• Events with talks should not be called FAD, but how do we call them? Ask for ideas on ambassadors and marketing list.
