participate in making Fedora better by contributing to different projects. We would like
to know the amount of people who are willing to come up and hence giving us a reply to
this email with RSPV might help us anticipate the number of attendees.

I'm not sure if a conversation with me counts. In continuance of the
small bits of work Sumantro is putting together, I had requested him
to check if there is a possibility of putting together a small party
to celebrate the release of Fedora 24 as well as share the experiences
of all those who have been taking the small first steps in
participating within the Test team.
You'll notice that the agenda is very barebones - that is a request I
had put forward. Instead of attempting to cover a lot of ground, often
unfamiliar, focusing on sharing of experiences and learning.
There were no discussions or planning about this event with Fedora
Ambassadors from Bangalore: me and Aditya, AFAIK. All of a sudden, you
see an announcement for the event. It's good that some one wants to do
a Fedora Release Party, but, a planning without involving the local
community members and contributors is not proper.
I agree. There's nothing which states there has to be only one release
party at a city. The Ambassadors, who have been long-term participants
and highly visible are exceptionally adept at pulling together a
larger event of greater depth.

+1
So, if the local Fedora Ambassadors feel strongly about this - the
listing of the event could probably be taken off the wiki.
