Swag-Only Requests

If you only need swag to help you hold an event, we have a fast-track policy to help you out. Anyone can request swag for an event, you don’t have to be an Ambassador. If you are new to Fedora events, checkout our Advocate Program.

Please open a Mindshare ticket in the Mindshare Repository. You need to select the swag-only template from the Type drop down. Please complete the fields required.
Monitor your ticket for questions from the Committee.
Voting usually starts quickly. The ticket needs to get 2 +1s and no -1s in three days. When this happens, a committee member will update the ticket with an approved message.
Open a swag-shipment request in the Event Requests repo using the provided template. Please allow 2-3 weeks for shipping as swag is generally not stored in your country. Most of the delay is to allow time for customs processing in your country, not shipping.
Hold your event!
Write your event report

Fedora Events are often featured in the Mindshare newsletters and hence the event report holds a significant amount of importance. The report is a general summary of an event which gives the project an idea of what’s going on and reports on successes as well as lessons learned.

Reporting can be done in many ways. Here’s are a couple of commonly used methods for sharing the event report with the community:
- Community Blog (a.k.a. CommBlog): You can sign into the Community Blog WordPress site using your FAS account credentials. Once inside, you can create a new post where you can draft your experience. After you are done, follow the steps in the guide on publishing articles on the CommBlog. Here’s an example of a Fedora 27 release party blog post.
- Your own Blog: If you have been maintaining your own blog, you can post it there as well. To extend the reach of audience, Advocates may syndicate their blog to Fedora Planet. For more information check out this 'how to'.

Comment on your issue in the Mindshare repo with a link to your event report.
