[Ambassadors] Plans for EMEA events and activities in next year

Hi, we had an EMEA planning FAD last weekend and main purpose of the FAD was to plan activities, events, and then a budget for the next fiscal year (March 2015-February 2016). We discussed what events to attend and on what kind of events we want to focus on. I'd like to ask other EMEA ambassadors to come up with events where you think the Fedora should be. If you have a concrete idea you can add it at the end of the etherpad: https://titanpad.com/C13BPojw05 Please state what event it is, what kind of audience it has, what flavor of Fedora we should promote there primarily (Workstation, Server, Cloud, spins,...), why we should be there. It's not necessary for the start, but before we add it to the budget I'd like to know who will represent Fedora there and what the budget estimation is. When considering events, please bear in mind our target audience: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Workstation/Workstation_PRD#Target_Audience http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Server/Personas At the FAD, we agreed that we should be at events which are attended by people who are currently out of our reach because they don't go to traditional Linux/open source events and don't follow the news in the Linux world. But yet there is still our target audience. It could maker fairs, developer conferences, local meetups of interest groups... if you know of such an event in your location, please propose it. NOTE THAT THIS IS THE BEST WAY TO GET FUNDING FOR EVENT PARTICIPATION. IF YOU PROPOSE THE EVENT AFTER THE BUDGET IS FINISHED AND APPROVED, IT'S MUCH HARDER TO FUND IT BECAUSE WE NEED TO USE RESERVES WHICH ARE LIMITED. DEADLINE FOR FINALIZING THE LIST OF EVENTS FOR THE BUDGET IS JAN 15TH. You can also add a country report to the etherpad if your country is not yet there. Jiri
