<p><font size="1">The purpose of event is to build a global Fedora events calendar, and
 to identify responsible Ambassadors for each event. The event page is 
laid out by quarter and by region. Please maintain the layout, as it is 
crucial for budget planning.
Events can be added to this page whether or not they have an Ambassador 
owner. Events without an owner are not eligible for funding, but being 
listed allows any Ambassador to take ownership of the event and make it 
eligible for funding. 
In plain words, Fedora events are the exclusive and source of marketing,
 learning and meeting all the fellow community people around you. So, 
please mark your agenda with the following events to consider attending 
or volunteering near you!
