What kind of people do you expect to attend?
The event is at The LNM Institute Of Technology where the audience will be students. Computer Science students who know coding and are diving into open-source. Most are new to Fedora, familiar with Ubuntu. I promote Open Source and have taken Git-VCS workshops at college before.
What do you plan to cover in the agenda for your FWD event? - Introduction to Fedora - Various features of Fedora and guiding participants to play with it, at labs.fedoraproject.org - Outreachy opportunities with Fedora - Discussion about projects available for Fedora - Guiding students as to how they can contribute. - Getting started with Open Source.
Anything you want us to know?
Do you want to tell us anything unique or special about your event?
Open-Source culture of our college is really good. There are a lot of students who wish to start contributing to open source and learn about it. We help mentor the students, help them understand Git and contribute.

Can we include some practicals (hands-on) in agenda?
@tatica @jflory7 @bee2502 @jonatoni WDYT?
Sure, @amsharma . All students will be requested to come with their laptops and we'll make them familiar with Github and git version controlling, so that they can get to know the process of contributing to open source.

@salonigarg any updates on this please?
@jonatoni Hey Jona, sorry for being late to reply. The event went great :)
The photos of the event are with the photography club of our college. The extra budget was fortunately not required, because the initiative to conduct this event was supported by our college's coding club, with snacks and drinks.
Happy to hear the event went great - thanks for organizing it :100: :clap: Can you please write a short report about it, so we can share it with others? :pray:
