I read the last meeting log and the ticket related to the event report policy. I think that everyone involved in the community that ask for support/swag/reimbursement is an honest person. If somebody is late with the report, I think that there is a good reason. At least this is my approach, until I’m proved wrong. Indeed I don't see any abuse right now. Anyway having a policy is good.
After this preamble, here is my actual thought. If a report is requested after an event, on the other hand why not emphasize/publicize more the events before they are held (if the organizer wants, obviously): on the community blog, on the Fedora social channels, and so on? "Hey, we are here!" "Next week you can attend this release party", "Next sunday you can meet Fedora here".
Ciao A.

Hey Alciregi, I think this is a fair point.
One way I would start thinking about this is to come up with a list of 4-5 outreach tasks that would help support event organizers by Fedora. Then, Mindshare could take that list and come up with a few ideas of how to better connect Advocates to non-engineering teams/initiatives.
Hullo,
Promotion is important! I think providing some resources to help people with that would be great. I was spitballing with mattdm and we had the idea to put together half a dozen "canned" small event resources to help enable people to do more small events generally. I think promotional materials/ideas would be good to include, as well as prompts for the event report to help make that an easier ask of our contributors who are organizing events.
Best,
Marie
