1. Ambassadors want to increase their presence at events.
2. Have increased budget for events and collateral in FY14 budget being submitted to FAmSCo.
3. What additional events does Fedora want a presence at?

Future Event Results

1. How do we help/encourage people to speak at events about Fedora?

2. Scale11x

• A lot of confusion as to who is actually making the decisions about Fedora's presence here
• Is there a Fedora FAD or not? Or is it a Fedora social event (what ever that is)?
• No Ambassador ticket, no funding as of yet

3. PyCon

• We don't have a booth here because we started planning too late and missed the free OS booth window
• Toshio is the event owner, he distributes media as a floating ambassador
• The attendees may try to do a Fedora meetup during the conference
• Ambassador ticket with notes: #48

4. NELF

• Mario will pay half sponsorship cost at bronze level and NELF admin say we'll get Gold level (contract?)
• Numerous Fedora talks planned and given by Mario
• Full day Fedora Camp, which is social/marketing oriented on both days
