About your event

What kind of people do you expect to attend?

The event will be held at Prishtina hackerspace and most of the people that will attend will be computing students, new to open source and Fedora.

What do you plan to cover in the agenda for your FWD event?

Since most of the people will be new to open source and to Fedora we will start with a talk on what open source is in general, and later talk more about Fedora. We will talk about different ways that people can get involved in Fedora and start contributing, and also how they can be part of Outreachy.

Are there any questions you have for the D&I Team?
No

Anything you want us to know?
N/A

Budget request

  • Snacks and pizza: $50.00

Hi @renata and @jonatoni, thanks for proposing this event in Prishtina! :tada: I am +1 to approving this event request. We'll give other members of the team a chance to review for any feedback until Monday or Tuesday.

I know @jonatoni knows these details, but for the benefit of everyone in the ticket, I will repeat this section here. In the meanwhile, consider these points while you plan your event:

Resource pack

We plan to share a resource pack with FWD event organizers in early September.

The resource pack will include information on Fedora editions / objectives, content on Fedora <3 Python, and more. Once available, we encourage you to make use of it for your event.

Ideas for getting involved with Fedora

Please promote different ways to get involved and participate in the Fedora community.

When promoting the Fedora community, we encourage you to include other opportunities to contribute across Fedora. A great resource is whatcanidoforfedora.org. An overview of the different Fedora sub-projects is helpful to include. We plan to include other suggestions for this in the resource pack.

Participation metrics

Please collect participation metrics about the number of attendees and other information you think is useful.

We want to better understand how FWD events impact the local communities and Fedora. At a minimum, please note the number of attendees at your event. Other numbers may be useful depending on your event.

Some suggestions are…

  • Gender ratio of attendees
  • How many people are newcomers and how many people already are contributors / have a Fedora account
  • Badges earned by attendees during event (not including attendee badge)
  • Other ideas unique to your event and audience
