``
Event owner was supposed to also keep me informed, as I am a contact for the venue; TL;DR
=> venue has not been confirmed

Haven't seen a CFP and no agenda has been set up.

Please provide more details about the event... especially as
https://beijinglug.club/event/f26-relparty-and-h4f/?instance_id=263 shows conflicting
information about the time in the artwork, and the location "Red Hat Beijing"
office is not descriptive as there are two offices: Parkview Green and Raycom.

I'm not sure you need formal CFP for a release party. It's meant for Fedora
contributors to come together and celebrate a new release and introduce Fedora to new
guests and invitees.

Note that, recently, I am busying daily job and personal issue, could @gbraad  help more
for this release party?

@pjp I agree with you, even no CFP, we could also recruiting talks and someone may speak
out extempore, lightning talk, I mean.

@pjp This is a precondition; this is related to the fact that the community here in China
is too small. If the event is not interesting enough, it is not an event we should have as
no new guests are willing to join. See note below: if no-one comes, the location is NOT
recommended.

@tonghuix Is it feasible to have the event as scheduled? My schedule only allowed to
assist, not plan the event.

Note: having the facility/office booked for a day in the weekend is costly (personnel
needs to come in to handle security). If it is just drinking a cola or a coffee and
mentioning some talking points, we do not need to schedule it in the office. If so, it can
be informal in a nearby cafe. But as mentioned above, my experience with other events in
China, such as BLUG meetings, when there is no topic, people will ignore it.

Adhoc speaking is not a problem... but it is the initial message you give to attract
people in our case.

``
I plan CANCEL this event due to no more talk submitted, and time's too rush for
this.

@gbraad What do you think? Do you agree?
