What kind of people do you expect to attend?
Based on last years experience, mostly people (men and women alike) interested in getting more women into STEM, Open Source. Women interested in getting in themselves might be about a third of attendees. Chances are that the first group will be familiar with Fedora already.
What do you plan to cover in the agenda for your FWD event?
(A wild guess follows)
Travel for speakers: $25.00 USD
FINAL TOTAL: $125.00 USD

Hi @rhea, thanks for your enthusiasm for proposing an event so soon. :smile:
We will likely make a first review for all applications around the week of August 6, 2018, per discussion in fedora-diversity#66. You can expect to hear back on your proposal around then.
Location: Brno, CZ
Is this planned for the Red Hat Brno office like last year? If so, perhaps some others there from the Fedora community could give a tech talk, like @churchyard on Python (just throwing out ideas).
Diversity talk [30min]
Curious, what do you plan to cover in this talk? Diversity in tech / open source generally or about Fedora D&I efforts?
We're talking about different date than the above because that week everyone is busy... We may have to move it to the next one.
Diversity talk will be from Sabina, our expert and lecturer on the topic, what exactly it will be about I do not know. Right now we're talking about local diversity problems and how to better tailor the communication in local culture, so it may be something resulting of these discussions.
Python - I'm talking to Iryna, she was talking about python in Fedora, python2->3, and had a little demo with micropython last year. I'd like something similar, micropython with little lights and displays is cool and playful way to get people interested. Iryna said that she's on maternal leave so will see if she can come, if not I have another girl to ask who's created basically a LED laptop with buttons driven by micropython, you can play tetris and snake on it... :D
Yes @ishcherb would be great but it is not an option that would work for sure.
Also, would be nice to get somebody from the local PyLadies community https://pyladies.cz/brno/
Yup, above mentioned micropython meant to be presented by pyladies
