15th July Fedora women was announced on 17th July
I think either the anniversary of Fedora Women in July or Women's
Equality Day in August would be viable dates to begin planning for. Both
are far enough in the future where it would give us time to organize and
publicize.
I think the July date could be an important one to celebrate among
existing members, while maybe the August date could have more of an
"outreach" sort of focus?
