Firstly I want to clarify that I am not talking about the Kolkata event because there is a formal CfP out on this list and there is not a lot to complain about there. It would be nice however if you could link the speaker names to their user pages to know who they are. So moving on, I have missed the discussions because I am not on those mailing lists. Likewise, I am sure a lot of women contributors to Fedora who may be qualified and interested in attending and speaking at the conference may have missed the conversation completely and may find themselves excluded. When doing a local chapter of a global event, it is not sufficient to just reach out to the global lists, one must reach out locally. > I did file a apac trac ticket long ago > The problem is budget is to be specified beforehand (in previous year). > We conceived this event in March-April. > So the Kolkata event is mainly getting sponsored by Ubuntu Women. Again, while my question in this context was specifically for the Pune event it also wanted to pick at the inability of the local ambassadors to be able to push for a budget when we hardly utilize anything that is allocated to us anyway. I don't exclude myself from that charge just because I was unavailable to contribute to it. However looking at the ticket, the items you need like stickers and dvds could have been obtained by asking on this list or making a specific request for it on trac. Those items don't need to be part of the event budget. Travel subsidy for this event seems excessive given that I haven't seen it happen outside of premiere events. I think PJP (pjp AT fedoraproject.org ) can help with DVDs and stickers if you haven't reached out to him already.
