- Update from misc: I have a non ready draft. I was working on it last week, then i got pulled in a urgent secret project, so I will likely be able to resume work on it after some big event from my employer in the coming month.
Ticket-driven discussion & notes
- Fedora Mentor Summit updates
- Fedora Mentor Summit 2024 (#25) · Issues · fedora / Diversity Equity and Inclusion Team / Home - Issues and Discussions · GitLab
- Amita has applied for a panel discussion for FMS, inviting mentors to share their experience
- For the moment we are on track with the Mentor Summit I would say - Amita needs some help with mentors suggestions for the panel
- Justin: Marie and Smera are two names that come to mind, and they also have the mentor/mentee connection too
- Justin: I could probably think up some other names. I’ll likely know more once the CFP goes from blind review to deanonymized in early May
- Justin: Roland Taylor and ffmancera are also names that come to mind
- Fedora Week of Diversity updates
- Fedora Week of Diversity - planning for 2024 (#19) · Issues · fedora / Diversity Equity and Inclusion Team / Home - Issues and Discussions · GitLab
- We have opened CFP: Fedora Week of Diversity 2024 :: pretalx
and deadline to apply is on May 11 - We have an article coming up soon on CommBlog
- 0 submissions so far
- Help needed with sharing the CFP and social media promo
