Hello,
I am the President of the Ohio LinuxFest (OLF) which is a weekend
conference in Columbus, Ohio. We are scheduled for the 15th annual event on
September 29 and 30. Fedora has already reserved a table for the expo.
If it would be welcomed, I am interested in submitting a ticket for holding
FWD as a birds of a feather function. My concern is that I might not have
the energy that this entails to make FWD@OLF a success and hope that other
ambassadors would help.
Please let me know if others plus one this idea.
Thanks,
Beth Lynn Eicher

Hello ambassadors,
Fedora Women Day (FWD) is a day of celebration dedicated to the female
contributors of the Fedora Project. During this day of celebration, local
communities around the world will gather to present the accomplishments of
the women that are part of the Fedora Project and thank them. FWD is a
great chance to promote the participation of more women, bring together
contributors and raise awareness about the gender gap in tech communities.
*When and where*
This year FWD is planned to be organized during September. Since it is
difficult to determine a specific date for an event like this, it is up to
the local communities to pick the most appropriate date for them during the
month of September.
*Are you interested in organizing Fedora Women Day?*
If you would like to organize a FWD event in your region, there is more
information about event organizing on our wiki page
<
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_Women_Day_2017>. It is important
to *confirm your participation* as an organizer *by August 20th 2017*.
There are a few guidelines to help you put together an event, such as
agenda ideas and planning points for you to use. A FWD event also does not
have to be in a physical place either. You can also participate remotely
with one of the events happening in September via audio/video call.
If you have any question feel free to ask us :)
Thank you,
Jona
