Fedora 17 Release Party - Dhaka, Bangladesh.

[mak]

Dear All,

As we know, Fedora 17 is available for initial Public test,[0] thanks to
Dennis for the announcement; we from Bangladesh want to plan our release
party with plenty of time in hand to make it a successful event. In fact
it's a initiative from Rejaul[2] and Kingheart[3]; they both separately
pinged me and later I discussed with imtiaz[4] bhai. All four of us agreed
to arrange a medium sized event. First I opted for an event outside of the
Capital city, but Kingheart insisted to arrange this big one in Dhaka and
later we can have an extended version in Chittagong and Khulna (the other
cities of Bangladesh).

I'm initiating this thread for all other Bangladeshi Ambassadors and User
to discuss Date, Venue and other issues of the event. For the time being
Rejaul enlisted our event in Fedora wiki.[1] A tentative date, venue is
written in the wiki as a placeholder along with a possible activities. Let
us discuss more to make these more convenient. I've opened a Facebook
event[5] page to invite friends.

*a personal note from me, I'm going to love 'Beefy Miracle' - already found
the alpha release have a single window mode GIMP 2.8; it's going to be fun.
:)*

We had an excellent meeting, it was very fruitful. Thank you Imtiaz bhai

coffee, though I offered you fish nuggets but you been too decent to
accept. You don't know what you missed. Anyways....

We've discussed a lot issues and decided the followings.

The Date will be 12th May, 2012 Saturday from 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM.

We will do some pre event promotion.

a) Press Release will be sent to all IT Corner sub-editor of national daily
newspaper, Rejaul took the responsibility for this and he will do a same
press release with photographs after the event.

b) Color poster will be stuck in the following University Campuses.

   1. AIUB

   4. Dhaka University CSE / EEE
   5. NSU CSE / EEE
   6. Prime Asia
   7. State University
   8. Stamford University
   9. UIU
   10. ULAB

c) Along with Facebook event sharing with all our friends, twitter
broadcasting, posting in various mailing lists.
d) We shall try to contact Mr. Sagir an Artist and a GIMP expert. He will
be doing the GIMP demonstration.
e) It may also help us to get some exposure if we can manage Server
administrators from various ISP of Bangladesh, running Fedora for their
purpose. Participants will be inspired to see that.
g) Download the Fedora 17 after final release and send it to WorldCom for
bulk production.


The event activity flow will be:

a. Intro to Fedoraproject.org 20 minutes
b. How to contribute 20 min
c. Fedora 17 feature 20 min
d. Lightening talk on 5 topics, 5 minutes each. Topics can be GIMP, Fedora
spin, other features - total 25 minutes.
e. Hands on Group activity on different subject or on the talks given. Can
be how to edit image or draw in GIMP. Fedora 17 installation, Fedora Spin
how to. ABRT,  etc.
 f. Swag Distribution
g. Food
h. Fedora Bangladesh Volunteer recruitment and listing for future events.
h. End of the Event.


Logistics needed:
1. DVD for distribution (the minimum quantity to produce) 300 X 30 = 9000
BD৳
2. A flayer describing Fedora 17 feature and Installation procedure.
Photocopy (200 A4 2 leaves) 400 page X 2 = 800 BD৳
3. There have no Fedora sticker ever since in Bangladesh. We need some
exposure which may last for a long period of time. So, we decided to
produce Stickers - 4 F describing round sticker 1000 X 3 = 3000 BD৳
4. Event teaser poster in various university campus. Color digital print.
10 X 200 = 2000 BD৳
5. Auditorium rent -1500 BD৳
6. Sound system - 1000 BD৳
7. Multimedia Projector - Ankur sponsored.
8. 3/ 4 Desktop or Laptop running Fedora 17 to display. - Ankur sponsored.


The above plan was conceived yesterday during the preparation meeting and
is submitted as a draft for rest of the users / Ambassadors of Bangladesh.
You can suggest to change things in the above plan while giving your
explanation to do so. Later we may/may not change after we discuss on any
issues. We can discuss for more until the end of this month. For the time
being we shall discuss the plan in mailing list, and after being solid, I
shall announce through Facebook and other channels.

It is also decided that Imtiaz Bhai will open a ticket in APAC trac for
fund request.

I have received couple of request from students outside of Dhaka (is our
capital city); they asked for travel assistance. If we sponsor 5 students
from 5 different part of the country, we won't need much more than 15,000
taka (less then 200 US$). This will give us an opportunity to widen the
horizon of Fedora Bangladesh community through other parts of the country.
They would become our outreach representatives and will help us to organize
event in their respective Universities. And they will replicate themselves
thus ensuring our existence in all over the country.

Moreover, every community is preparing themselves to bid for FUDCon in
upcoming years and we do need to solidify ourselves while spreading and
recruiting peers.

Imtiaz bhai,
I would request you to revise the budget at apac-trac and add the travel
bursary amount. Let us try and request FAmSCo to allow our budget request.

regards
