A thought about events

I read the last meeting log and the ticket related to the event report
policy. I think that everyone involved in the community that ask for
support/swag/reimbursement is an honest person. If somebody is late
with the report, I think that there is a good reason. At least this is
my approach, until I’m proved wrong. Indeed I don't see any abuse right
now. Anyway having a policy is good.

After this preamble, here is my actual thought.
If a report is requested after an event, on the other hand why not
emphasize/publicize more the events before they are held (if the
organizer wants, obviously): on the community blog, on the Fedora
social channels, and so on? "Hey, we are here!" "Next week you can
attend this release party", "Next sunday you can meet Fedora here".

Hey Alciregi, I think this is a fair point.

One way I would start thinking about this is to come up with a list of
4-5 outreach tasks that would help support event organizers by Fedora.
Then, Mindshare could take that list and come up with a few ideas of how
to better connect Advocates to non-engineering teams/initiatives.

Hullo,

Promotion is important! I think providing some resources to help people
with that would be great. I was spitballing with mattdm and we had the idea
to put together half a dozen "canned" small event resources to help enable
people to do more small events generally. I think promotional
materials/ideas would be good to include, as well as prompts for the event
report to help make that an easier ask of our contributors who are
organizing events.

Best,

Marie
