Hi Ambassadors, This is the first time I'm organizing an event for Fedora Project, here I would start off with Fedora 9 Release Party on my campus. I'd like to get some advices, comments, feedbacks, suggestions, etc from those who've been more experienced in organizing Fedora events. Here's my plan for the Fedora 9 Release Party at California State University, Los Angeles: 1. Time, Date, and Place Time: 12:00 pm - 5:30 pm Date: Friday, May 9, 2008 Location: California State University, Los Angeles Building: College of Engineering, Computer Science, and Technology Room: E&T A220 2. Marketing Materials - Fedora 9 Banners: Print these on this Friday at Kinko's like this and post it around campus next week. I'm going to look for some design from the Media Arts team. - Fliers: To be given out and put on all around campus, the fliers should have the design design of the Fedora 9 coming up design release, and that there's a website where they could vote (http://acm.calstatela.edu/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2487) on, time, date, place where the event will be held. That way I could anticipate on how many people would come to the event. These will be printed at the same time when I print the banner. Voting is not required to come to the event, some people have a time, some don't, but I encouraged them to do so, so that I can anticipate numbers. - Me and some of my team on campus would give some class announcements about the event. 3. At the Event - Someone gives a talk during the event about Fedora 9. I'm thinking about Thomas [1], since he's probably also the only one who's around in my area? Or someone from Red Hat? - Free pizzas and sodas at the event for all of the attendance. (am I going to get reimbursement for this?) - USB Creation Stations - Free Fedora 9 Live CDs - Free Fedora 9 DVDs - Questions and Answers sessions 4. Timeline 12:00 - 12:30 Opening Remarks 12:30 - 1:30 Lunch 1:30 - 2:30 Guest Speaker(s) (will be decided) 2:30 - 3:30 Questions and Answers 3:30 Dismissed Please give me inputs, feedbacks, comments, etc. Details of the event: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/GradyLaksmono/Los_Angeles_Release_Party#preview Thanks, Grady Laksmono http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/GradyLaksmono [1] http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/ThomasChung -- Fedora-marketing-list mailing list Fedora-marketing-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-marketing-list
