Let's go over the basics

What is an event?

For the purpose of this page, an event is any internal (Fedora contributors), external (collaborations, partners), or a mix of both internal/external gathering of people that takes place in person.

This is for all Fedora related events regardless of size, location/region, audience (internal, external), or type {Fedora hosted events or third party events}.

Since we now have virtual events let's specify that moving forward in this wiki, when the word “event” is used, it is used to talk about “in-person events.”

How will we evaluate what events to fund?

This is the part that is ever-changing. As we have witnessed, Covid seems to spread, and then we suppress it some, and then evolves and spreads again. Hopefully we will soon see developments that can neutralize Covid, or significantly decrease the severity. Until that time, we have to remain flexible.

This means evaluating event funding requests on a case-by-case basis for some time. It is also important to note here that although the Fedora Project works independently in many ways, we are also directly sponsored by Red Hat. Therefore we are bound by the same laws, regulations, and issue of liability that apply to Red Hat.

In order for the Mindshare Committee to make a decision about funding post-Covid there are a couple pieces of information that will be required along with usual info. See below.
