* August 26 is Women’s Equality Day, which commemorates the August 26, 1920

proclamation for Women’s Equality Day in 1971. Since that time, every
president has published a proclamation recognizing August 26 as Women’s
Equality Day.
March is already gone, so we could go with August, probably set up a small
Fedora Women Day for that date with some online activities could be nice.
Even if we can't pull an event such as, we could do a small awareness
campaign with a nice page with some testimonials, videos, online workshops
and such.
What do you think about this? Are this dates viable?
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?
