Please let me know if I can assist with this event. I would be willing to speak or provide other assistance.

I am +1 to this event proposal, even though I am involved as an event organizer.

At the Fedora Flock conference last week, @riecatnor expressed interest in giving a talk and Q&A session on Outreachy and possibly other non-code topics about the Fedora community.

@cprofitt It's also good to know you are interested and available to help for FWD! I'll bring this up in our organizer group chat and we'll be in touch with more information soon.

+1 thanks for the ticket. Take pictures and collect the presentations if possible. Thanks for the ticket :)

+1 from me as well. Thanks for the proposal @gen1e @jflory7 and good luck with the event :smile:

Given the above comments, I will mark this event as approved. I hope we can collaborate with @cprofitt and @riecatnor for our event as well. :grinning:

I've shared this feedback in other tickets so far, so I will repeat it here too. In the meanwhile, consider these points while planning the 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

@jflory7 +1, I would be happy to attend, participate and share my experiences with Outreachy and Fedora. I have contacted the Outreachy coordinators to hopefully get some approved resources, and I have some things I can put together for the Fedora design aspect already :)

According to https://pagure.io/mindshare/issue/32 , we need to send mail to bex (Brian Exelbierd bexelbie@redhat.com) in order to get the swags/stickers for the Fedora Women Day event.

I request organizers who need to get these swags and stickers to please mail Brian Exelbierd bexelbie@redhat.com asap in order to get them timely.

No shipment information has been received for this event.

Sorry for the delay! @bex I just sent you an email with the information.

Reimbursement Process for FWD

Open a ticket in the Budget Repo. The ticket must contain the following information:

• Ticket URL of approved FWD event from the diversity repo
• Link to the event blog post with some pictures
• Paypal address and/or transferwise email/bank details
• Readable copies of all receipts, pdfs preferred
• List of all receipts, what they were for generically and the amount in the currency of the receipt (i.e. Food @ Walmart 1500 INR)
• Preferred Reimbursement Currency. If that currency isn't possible, you will get USD.
• Any additional notes required for the reimbursement, for example, if your country has paypal fees for receiving money, then include the fee calculation information and a link to the source information

Thanks!!

I'm a co-organizer for this ticket, so I will work on this too, but for consistency's sake, I'll repeat the comment posted to other tickets below:

Thank you for organizing your FWD event! On behalf of the Fedora D&I team, we hope it was a success. :tada: We have two updates for you:

Writing an event report

To close out your FWD event, please write an event report no more than three weeks from your FWD event date. Your event report should be published on the Fedora Community Blog, but a personal blog is also acceptable. Don't forget to include one to three pictures! :camera:

The Community Blog uses WordPress, so you can write and draft your article on the Community Blog site. If you need help, please reach out in this ticket.

Note: An event report is required to receive reimbursement for your event.

Getting reimbursed

Once your event report is published and you share a link to it in this ticket, you can request reimbursement for your event. To request reimbursement, open an issue here:

https://pagure.io/fedora-budget/new_issue

@bex will work with you to reimburse the costs of your event. Remember to save all original receipts for your event expenses.

See more information on the event reimbursement process.

@gen1e published the event report and opened a private ticket for reimbursement. From my understanding, the organizational work for this FWD event is complete.

Thanks @gen1e for the help on organizing this, and thanks @riecatnor @cprofitt for coming out as our guest speakers for the event! :tada:

Closing as complete. :clapper:
