FISL 14 - International Free Software Forum
Website: http://softwarelivre.org/fisl14
About FISL
The FISL is held annually in the city of Porto Alegre in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. The forum is one of the biggest events in the world and the largest in Latin America. The Mozilla Foundation will be present during the 4 days of the forum, with activities for your audience.
Summary
- FISL is an important event and a great opportunity.
- We think we can make it better than previous years
- We want to have a permanent space this year in visible area, with a good environment for hacking and an area not related with swag distribution.
- We don't want a room, we want a lounge. An open space.
- This Mozilla Lounge must have good internet, lots of power plugs and bean bags for people to bring their laptops and get help…
- get help from kickass Mozilla Engineers (engineer staff that are not full of work and other emails and bugzilla bugs, and that can give the participants the proper attention) in this area.
- FISL should also be used for the keynotes and talks
- Maybe also organize a localization sprint or apps-day with some time overlaping with FISL or during FISL

Costs
It looks like the top we can raise via REMO is US$ 40k (R$80k) (does this information proceed?) which will not be enough for travel, food and acomodation for the volunteers if we were to buy any of the below sponsorship packages.
Sponsonrship packs
- for a company to have a booth or space in FISL it has to pay, below are the 3 sponsorship packages:
- R$ 80k = 25 m2 (plus some other stuff)
- R$ 60k = 20 m2 (plus some other stuff)
- R$ 40k = 18 m2 (plus some other stuff)
Acommodations
There are two available options being discussed for acomodations, the traditional one: hotels and a more ambitious/cheap/potentially awesome option: a house/mansion.
Hotels
The avarage price for a night with breakfast in Porto Alegre in the week of FISL is: R$160 (source http://www.master-hoteis.com.br/hotel/porto-alegre/master-express-perimetral#o-hotel) per person
Houses
It may be possible to get a good house, with internet connection, barbecue area, for 8 people for R$600 a day. (source http://www.hotelhomebrazil.com/properties/13?locale=en&month=7&year=2013 )
Travels
Mozilla have used travel agencies in the past to buy tickets, however this travel agencies have not been able to pay for taxi cabs and buses in the past, which where handled by REMO reimbursements bugs and we have cases of reimbursements never been aproved or never arrived (like bug https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=856842 )
Food
Food in the past have been handled by reimbursements by REMO or Mozilla, and like the item above, reimbursements normally don't work. Volunteers need to eat, since they are already giving us their time and work for free. We (the organization team) find important that the sponsored volunteers eat and we don't think they should pay for themselves in advance and in the hopes of being reimbursed some time in the future.
Our suggestion is to reserve R$40 per day per person and give them in cash at the moment of arrival in Porto Alegre, lowering the bureocracy and raising the feeling of trust which is good for morale/
