    1. stickster took this ticket (stickster, 19:35:10)
    2. Travel fares -- we prefer to pay these ourselves, by charging them. Providing cash advances is not the preferred way, and basically that has to come out of someone's pocket until they get reimbursed by Red Hat. Then we have to bite our nails until we get receipts, without which... we're essentially out however much money that was (stickster, 19:37:29)
    3. Hotel rooms -- When someone from Red Hat, either myself or jsmith, arrives at the hotel, we'll arrange to pick up all the rooms for which we're paying. Those will go on the master account which we'll pay with a credit card. (stickster, 19:37:44)
    4. Room bookings: Every traveler books their own lodging, either themselves, or has their roommate do it. (stickster, 19:40:00)
    5. The reservation URLs are on the wiki now, and ready for booking! (stickster, 19:42:14)
    6. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FUDCon:Tempe_2011#Lodging <-- shiny URLs (stickster, 19:42:28)
    7. The reservation link may come up for only 3 nights (nights of 1/28, 1/29, 1/30 -- i.e. 1/28-1/31 stay) but it is possible to extend, just call the hotel (stickster, 19:43:27)
    8. ACTION: stickster Write blog entry on airfares and lodging for subsidies, and booking rooms (stickster, 19:46:00)
    9. We could handle ticket #57 in the same blogging (stickster, 19:46:37)

  10. https://fedorahosted.org/fudcon-planning/ticket/57 (Marking roommate needs on wiki) (stickster, 19:48:48)

    2. Hotel has a complimentary airport shuttle for anyone who wants it... or the light rail + 700m walk (stickster, 20:03:00)
    3. IDEA: We could make cell phone numbers or temporary google voice numbers available for people at the conference if needed (stickster, 20:03:51)
