Hi Beth,
I am an Ambassador in North America, but I don't know if I'll be able to
attend OLF this year. If there's anything that I can do to help plan or
put something together, I'd be more than happy to help. I think there
might be a couple of other Fedorans who usually make it to OLF (I can
think of one person specifically in Indiana, so not too far).
Let us know if you need any help, I'd be happy to help work with you on
this! You can also stop by the Diversity Team mailing list if you need
any assistance too:
Hello,
I like a lot your idea to have FWD as a bird of a feather session at
Ohio Linux Fest and would love to hear the feedback of people that will
attend it. On the other hand, I understand your concern that you need
more people to help you organize it and I really hope that local
ambassadors can help you. Even though I strongly encourage you to
organize it, even if only 5-10 people will join maybe their
opinions/feedback would be really helpful for us, +1 for my part to
organize it. Please let me know how can I help you to make it happen :)
Thanks,
Jona

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
