05:21:30 the wiki is silent on that 05:21:49 fudcon pune was predefined not barcamp-style 05:21:56 we can have a mix. 05:22:06 past experience points to that 05:22:14 +1, we are are evaluating options 05:22:17 north american FUDcons are barcamp style 05:22:20 predefined slots will work better for students 05:22:42 barcamp works for contributors more 05:22:46 we're thinking of predefined speaking slots for the first 2 days 05:23:00 ok. 05:23:22 do put in a proposed schedule and number of tracks as well 05:23:30 +1 05:24:01 * azneita is taking notes of stuff to update, keep them coming 05:24:42 when you do put up an agenda, do put in (since some of this is predefined) some speakers that people would want to come listen to. 05:24:52 Wanna meet up u guys so much. 05:25:10 helps in the promotion of it (once the decision is made) 05:25:44 yep 05:27:02 don't want to be a party pooper but we're over the time limit already 05:27:06 :) 05:27:06 so next few steps for all bids, i think, would be to get an agenda, get some speakers lined up. get a call for papers written up, get tentative location details confirmed as much as possible 05:27:15 yes harish 05:27:41 +1, thanks everybody for listening to us ph folks 05:27:56 +1 great input and ideas indeed 05:27:57 but we'll need to have a decision for that, i think 05:28:05 * bckurera_ it is a pleasure magie 05:28:19 thanks again 05:28:28 I strongly believe that the PH bid for FUDCon APAC consists of both a great support team & structure as well as experience for this FUDCon APAC bid. :) 05:29:34 I strongly suggest to bring this conversation to ML (fudconplanning) so that others will contribute with their ideas. 05:29:38 key thing to note is that if you can get as much written into the bid document, even if you don't get to host it. that becomes the basis for the next attempt. 05:29:41 shall we wind up then? 05:29:52 sorry harish go on 05:29:57 +1 harish 05:29:59 :-) 05:30:01 +1 05:30:06 +1 05:30:07 +1 05:30:09 +1 05:30:12 +1 05:30:13 +1 05:30:29 +1 05:30:49 since we are all doing this for the first time (other than in Pune) we need to make the bid as solid as possible 05:31:23 pune had one advantage - there is a red hat office there. so rahul could lean on help. 05:31:48 for ph, we have bluepoint :) 05:31:51 other than in Singapore and Malaysia, the other SEA countries don't have a Red Hat office for some help. 05:32:03 azneita: +1 05:32:11 yes, i know that bluepoint can help and i say thank you to them. 05:32:23 :) 05:32:30 * bckurera_ remembers Sri Lanka Redhat initiative past 05:33:00 just for transparency, how many bids are there today?
