+1 here. Bangalore is an awesome place to have a Release Party

+1 - it would be important to get the topics of budget for cake and availability of some give-aways handled. Fedora release parties have always been a great starting place for new contributors and in recent times Bangalore has been seeing renewed interest.

+1 IMO USD 100/- is reasonable budget for release party.

During our FAmSCo meeting today we discussed about this ticket and we agreed to approve it for max 100$. Good luck with your event @sumantrom :)

For reference here you have our meeting logs: https://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-meeting-2/2017-07-19/famsco.2017-07-19-15.00.html

Its good to see higher body of ambassadors have approved this ticket now but I really don' t think this was needed to be escalated to the FAmSCo. I think in general if no one is opposing in a week period and we have +1 votes only then it should get approved.

Maybe we have no leader in APAC to give final decision on tickets and if it is the case then FAmSCo should look into this issue as well.

At least I feel after the Fedora release happens APAC mentors should have a meeting and discuss on promoting Fedora events/ release party and if needed may even approve the budget.

+1 to this. There should be a person who can take decisions in the APAC region.

first there is still a person in APAC with the power and second say thanks to FAmSCo that there is no member of it from the region as they preferred to make somebody without fullfilling the requirements to an Ambassador so that he can serve in FAmSCo instead thinking on this region

+1 from here
