This discussion should really happen on the Fedora India mailing list if we are interested to have any community event. I have mentioned about public discussion in the actual budget request ticket on Fedora APAC trac [1].

I am also CCing site (Rupali) here as I heard that the initial request for the event was only for an internal event to RH. Rupali can confirm more about this. As Amit pointed out in another email in this thread, we should make sure that we showcase people's actual achievements in upstream contributions in Fedora land. Other than that it will not be that much of a Fedora event.
