[help wanted] Need organizer for HackMIT, USA - Sept. 2018

[Justin W. Flory]

Hi all,

Due to a sudden change in my availability, I am looking for someone to
replace me as an event owner for HackMIT from Sept. 15-16 in Boston, MA.

HackMIT is an annual hackathon event held for students at the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Fedora has attended for the past
two years:

    https://communityblog.fedoraproject.org/hackmit-meets-fedora/

    https://communityblog.fedoraproject.org/fedora-returns-hackmit-2017/

I began the negotiating process for a third year, but I am no longer
able to attend the event. I reached out to the Fedora Objective leads
and received interest in an introduction to modularity for engineering
students by Langdon White and possibly other Red Hatters for IoT at the
Westford Red Hat office (CC'd). Mike DePaulo is also available to attend
HackMIT as well.

I am able to finish the negotiating process, but I am unable to commit
time and resources to event organization. I am looking for someone else
to take lead on planning our presence and messaging, as well as
logistics for shipping and receiving Fedora swag items.

This event has not yet been voted on or reviewed by the North American
Ambassadors – so it is not finalized. I hope we can still plan for
another presence this year.

If you are interested in taking lead on this, please reply on-list, and
I will loop you into the existing thread with the HackMIT organizers.

Thanks!

To follow up on the list, I reached out to the HackMIT organizers today
to see if the sponsorship is still possible. If so, we will move this
forward with a new FAmNA Pagure ticket.
