Replying to [comment:2 zsun]:

Although for backup, I'd mention the most difficult problem regarding China: Visa.
I just make a [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1fpLGpTwNmW_1a7YekpZBR3twLfMG6hJa71zcsXxFaLw/edit?usp=sharing Visa-free metrix], HTH.

Excellent! Thanks so much for compiling these details.

I guess Malaysia might be good option, considering flight connectivity etc.

Thank you.

Excellent

@Izhar can you move forward with this fast, its just 2 months left until then

yes , can host this ..

though i will need to get some additional hands to help.

Is there a FAD organizing page somewhere? Need to check what are the tasks i need to do besides confirming venue, coordinating flight, visa invitation letter, and accommodation.

How many will be coming from India & Myanmar? (as these countries might face visa issues)

gnokii commented 8 years ago

*no, you have to do you own wiki page.

*main task are organizing the meeting space (should be easily you use RH office) and accomodation not to far and to expensive. And thinking on a social dinner option.

*just one from India and one from Myanmar (if Yan can come) its the budget FAD so one a country

Please create a new wiki page and another ticket for this FAD.

Yes, I can give a hand.

Please check out this page: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_organize_a_FAD

One person per country, I think.

some updates.

a room nearby the office for 2 pax ranges between MYR90-MYR150-MYR300 (~USD21-USD37-USD75). Mostly at MYR150 range.

all are walking distance from the office.

Thanks Izhar for updates.

We need to finish preparation soon, then call for participants to select ones to attend. Flight fare may increase.

Hi all,

I'm waiting for final list of participants as that is the current main blocker to my tasks on the ground. Tasks like booking for flight and booking hotel cant be done until list of participants are confirmed.

Currently looking at the wiki, only 3 applicants. Can help me with getting the list ready?. We are already behind schedule in confirming participants.

It was due for last(27 May 2016) APAc meeting; But There was only me and Danishka who joined, so it was called off. I'll send out an email announcing the meet-up and call for participation.

@izhar, coming from Singapore -- should I take by flight or bus or something else?

@Hui Ren,

Bus is preferable because it brings you straight to the middle of KL, nearby the office, while flight will get you to either subang (~50KM away) or KLIA (~80KM away). I suggest checking out aeroline as that bus is more comfortable and have predictable schedule compared to normal busses.
