We discussed this at today's meeting but did not come to a conclusion. See discussion at https://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-meeting/2016-10-03/council.2016-10-03-18.00.html.
In particular, there are a series of questions we'd like answered, tagged with "HELP" in the minutes. If you could provide answers for those as soon as possible, that'd really help.
HELP: what is the expected attendance? (bexelbie, 18:36:58) 300 - 500 people
HELP: Why are you printing 1000 books and only 100 t-shirts? (bexelbie, 18:37:09) Like it: http://www.feedbackmedia.es/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/MockUp-triptico-1.jpg The university wants for send to other places for do adversite
HELP: Why did you cancel the cheaper t-shirts and keep the expensive ones? (bexelbie, 18:37:23) We are considering only one group of t-shirts for reduce costs, the more cheaper t-shirts has poor quality
HELP: Have you looked for any additional sponsors? (bexelbie, 18:37:31) Yes, here is hard to find sponsors, there aren't enterprices involved with technology
HELP: What is going to happen with the two "waiting for sponsor items"? (bexelbie, 18:37:44) We are waiting a response, but, Escuelab can help us with watter bottles, about stickers, we have some Fedora stickers and other souvenirs
HELP: have you contacted the LATAM ambassador group for funding? (bexelbie, 18:39:51) Yes, I spoke with y1nv but he said me "FUDCon budget is different to LATAM Ambassadors budget" he was confused about both budgets
HELP: Can you get additional funding from existing sponsors? (bexelbie, 18:40:05) We should speak with theirs, but, as I said before, it is hard and we are near to FUDCon
HELP: attendee counts for the last several latam fudcons (langdon, 18:46:40) is it a question?
Idea: cut the funded lunches for 22 attendees (bexelbie, 18:47:01)
HELP: How are the t-shirts being distributed? What earns someone a t-shirt? Why do only 10% get them? (bexelbie, 18:49:33) T-shirts are for speakers, organizers, gift for attendees and some people who shows interest for join to Fedora
The extra budget is approved. I am sorry for delay in getting the ticket updated.
This was approved via the fedora-council-private email list.
For the record, my vote changed from a -1 to a +1 based on further information.
