You list the following two goals:
To attract more users and contributors.
Aware about freedom of software.
These are both broad objectives. Can you help narrow that down into
something we can directly work towards? For example, based on your regional
knowledge:
* What kind of users can we reasonably target and expect to actually
convert? Do we need activities before our after FUDCon to make this more
effective? If so, what?
* What kind of an audience will you be able to attract that will become
aware of FOSS. How will this awareness translate into action on the
audience's part?
* What areas of contribution are you targeting for growth?
These kinds of questions help us make sure we bring the right Fedora people
together. For example, if you tell me the local market is firmly about
virtualization and not containers, we should get speakers who talk about
virtualization and not offer many container talks.
[I hadn't seen this note earlier; it hit a different mail filter. duh!]
I'd like to state that distilling the broad objectives into tangible
outcomes specific to local communities is deeply required and
relevant. Often the event planning notes (on the wiki pages) adopt an
one-size-fits-all approach which builds on a template-form of FUDCon.
These sets of questions are equally applicable to events of small(er)
sizes and should probably be put up on the wiki somewhere to refer to.
