Help Needed: Fedora FOSDEM Booth - ambassadors - Fedora mailing-lists

8 Jan 2019

Hello ambassadors,

FOSDEM[0], the biggest free and non-commercial event organized by
and for the community in Europe, is less than a month away. The
conference will be held in Brussels, Belgium, on February 2 & 3.
As every year, EMEA Ambassadors organize the booth at FOSDEM,
where many developers, contributors and students visit it to
discuss with us or get some swag.

This is an open call for Fedora ambassadors to participate in our
booth at FOSDEM. Our theme is about extending the Fedora Project
by developing new solutions, packaging, helping users get
installed, and troubleshoot any errors that they may have. We are
looking for experienced ambassadors to work with new users, and
you must possess extensive knowledge around the not so technical
stuff of the distribution. We want to focus on helping users be
successful with Fedora, and not try to be a general helpdesk for
all technologies as most of them have their own communities
present. We want to focus on helping users be successful with

welcoming new contributors who didn’t get the chance to come in
the previous years. While we prefer contributors from EMEA to
allow us to use our budget to bring the most contributors, we make
our decision based on fit for our goals at the conference first
and money second.

There is also some budget in place and we can provide travel and
lodging funding to ambassadors in order to attend and assist at
the booth. Sponsored ambassadors are expected to work for 8 hours
at the booth during the two days of the conference. We will try to
accommodate your needs, but we need to keep the booth fully
staffed so we will be building the schedule for you. If you would
like to request funding, open a funding request at the EMEA
funding request tracker[1], explaining why you are asking for
funding and how you are going to contribute to the booth. We will
start reviewing requests on January 8, so submit early to get
selected.

Thanks,
Zach
