#56 Fedora 29 Release Party Novi Sad
Closed: Complete 5 years ago by bex. Opened 5 years ago by nmilosev.

Dear all,

we will be organizing a release party for F29 on University of Novi Sad.

Here is the link:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Release_Party_F29_Novi_Sad

There are also links for our previous events there. Sadly we missed one for F28. We don't have a set date for not but sometime during November is certain.

I would like to request around 100EUR from EMEA budget for this event. Based on our previous events this is enough to provide some basic catering.

Thank you in advance. Also a ping to @bex

Cheers,
Nemanja

I think this ticket meets the requirements
+1

Another update, I talked with @bex about the whole swag situation and he agreed to try and ship some swag again.

On the F24 and F25 release parties we got packages from Kveta in Brno and they were really awesome. I would love if we could get something similar but I am afraid that these "larger" packages will get stuck in customs. Anyways the contents were as follows (approximately):

  • 5 or 6 Fedora t shirts (we gave these to winners of our quiz)
  • around 30 Fedora pens (already got this from the last package @bex sent us)
  • around 200 to 300 various Fedora stickers
  • around 50 buttons or pins
  • 5 to 6 Fedora winter caps (also given to winners of the quiz)
  • around 20 to 30 flyers
  • Fedora DVD's (which are now deprecated)

Here is a picture from F26 RP: https://nmilosev.github.io/f26rpns-gallery/images/DSC02420.JPG

Thanks!

What is the expected attendance? I am thinking pens and stickers and buttons based on attendance. Is it a python heavy or .NET focused group? Do you have diversity awareness/female attendance?

We expect around 50 people at least. Both python and .Net communities are strong here, so cannot tell. I think python community is weaker so maybe we should push that. We had a lot of female attendees before but we are not actively pushing for diversity awareness yet.

Hi all – this ticket is private. Does it need to be private?

@jflory7 not sure, as my address is going to be listed for swag receiving, maybe it's better for it to be private

@nmilosev you can share you address with me directly, if htat would help you mark this ticket public.

Typically for release parties we send stickers, and sometimes pins or pens. Is this going to cause a problem?

@bex OK then, I will make the ticket public.

Not sure about your question. If you mean because of customs, I really do not know. They don't always follow all the rules, we got our packages for release parties before, but sometimes they can make an issue for the smallest things. By law, I am not allowed to "import" anything in greater quantity than one piece. For example, one time the package was returned because it had 20 pens in it and 20 pens is too much for one individual to import...

As for the package contents, please see my message above.

Thanks

Seems like I don't have the privileges (or don't see the option) to mark the issue public. @bex feel free to do so.

EDIT: Found it, nevermind.
