FUDCon 2011, Tempe, Arizona, Day -5 through -3

I start this post with a little story-telling on some "horrible" traveling; Arriving at Cardiff International Airport, it appeared my flight to Amsterdam was cancelled. It's a regular service, but the delay was still 4 hours. I was planning on an overnight stay with friends in the south of the Netherlands, a good 2 hours of travelling by train away from the airport, so obviously I arrived there a little late; 22:00 or something like that.

The following morning, I had to catch a plane at 10:25 in the morning, so my departure from my overnight stay was a good 6:00 in the morning (boarding time on US flights starts 2 hours in advance, and they have strict rules on accepting check-in luggage, too). 22 and a half hours later, I'm sitting in the Marriott Courtyard Hotel, FUDCon's primary lodging location, sipping a beer with Max Spevack. 22 and a half hours... it's not fun. I can confidently state, endangering repetition; I love to go places but I hate to travel.

Anyway, Ryan Rix and Robyn Bergeron met up with us, and I just have to quote Robyn saying:

"No, Ryan, she was all over your buttons."

'nuff said. After picking up Harish Pillay from FUDCon's secondary lodging location, we had dinner at what is called a Tavern right across the street.

Long story short, today Max and his companions are in meetings all day, so I'm all alone in the hotel lobby bogging the free wifi.

Preparing my slide deck for a session on Fedora's Extended Life-cycle Support (ELS) initiative, sub-titled "the why, the what,  the how and the who", I figured I might as well publish them here -since so many people can simply not make it to FUDCon, however regrettable.

So, attached to this post is a bunch of slides on the subject. I hope you enjoy!
