Firstly, this is definitely a regional question. While all of the
regions follow roughly similar practices, the details about how we track
and manage events differs. Some people thoroughly use the wiki for the
event and place it on the Events page, I've also seen third-party sites
used as the primary event page, and a few other things. Whatever we end
up doing, making sure that we are consistent across all regions should
be a priority so that anyone who needs to see Fedora events can see
*all* of them in one place.
While this is a regional question, I believe that FAmSCo should be
responsible for helping the regions adopt a common strategy. I think
should be a lightweight framework that makes sure that certain minimum
things are done in an accessible way.
To illustrate with an example, the Budget process requires that
Ambassador regions split their budgets into quarterly amounts. We need
this specific data to accomplish some tasks that are required project
wide. However, regions are free to subdivide their money by events, or
anything else after this larger quarterly budget is set. Regions can do
it all differently and it won't affect the ability of the overall budget
to be managed. We are taking a similar tactic with expense categories.
I believe the same kind of strategy will work for many areas of
Ambassadors.
