🏗️ events: Create new Antora module
This commit changes the information architecture of event-related documentation in the Mindshare Committee docs site. Content was changed minimally; most changes were to mention GitLab instead of Pagure or to use Discourse/Matrix instead of mailing lists/IRC. Additionally, the pages in this section now use attributes for several links. In the event that a link changes in the future, it will be easier to update URLs from a single place instead of several links becoming outdated. I chose to separate the events documentation into a new module because it provides a greater degree of separation from other content published in the Mindshare Committee documentation. It can exist as a more independent part of our docs instead of getting grouped together with Committee procedures, policies, and onboarding guidance for members. Signed-off-by: Justin W.

= What is a Release Party?
|
||||
:page-aliases: ROOT:release-parties.adoc
|
||||
|
||||
Release Parties are an informal gathering of community members hosted by Fedora to celebrate a new release.
|
||||
Release parties are a great way to help spread Fedora in your local area and provide an opportunity for Fedora users in your area to come together as a community.
|
||||
|
||||
Release parties can be casual events with a few people meeting in a coffee shop or larger events with numerous people in attendance, planned activities, and speakers.
|
||||

|
||||
== What to do at Release Parties?
|
||||
|
||||
There are many things you can do at a Release Party.
|
||||
A typical release party will have the following:
|
||||
|
||||
. *Talks/Presentations*:
|
||||
Typically talks at release parties are ones that introduce features in the new release of Fedora.
|
||||
If you're not sure what are the most interesting and important check the link:{FWIKI}/Fedora_29_talking_points[Talking points].
|
||||
. *Question and Answer session*:
|
||||
Host a session where people can come and ask questions about Fedora.
|
||||
This can be a great way to help answer people's questions and learn what common questions are in the community.
|
||||
It is also an opportunity to help people with installs and upgrades.
|
||||
It is OK if you are not an expert.
|
||||
Make this an “audience participation” event and get everyone to help everyone, just like in the rest of Fedora.
|
||||
This is also a great time to show off the various ways to get help online.
|
||||
. *Live USB Creation Station*:
|
||||
Have a machine with you that you can create Live USB images for people on the USB keys they provide.
|
||||
This can be a great way to send someone home with a Live Fedora image they can work with if they are hesitant to commit to an actual Fedora install.
|
||||
|
||||
These are just ideas.
|
||||
You are not required to do any or all of them.
|
||||
Focus your party on your audience.
|
||||
For example, if you are hosting a release party at work, have talks focused on the way you use Linux and how that relates to Fedora.

== Hosting Release Parties
|
||||
|
||||
_It is simple to host a Release Party_.
|
||||
|
||||
When you’re ready, you need to do a few simple things:
|
||||
|
||||
. Post to the link:{team_asynch_communication}[#mindshare tag on Fedora Discussion] and let the world know what you are planning.
|
||||
Ambassadors and others may have suggestions or advice that can improve your event.
|
||||
This also lets you find others who may want to help you with your event.
|
||||
. Open a ticket in the link:{team_issue_tracker}[Mindshare issue tracker] and let people know about your event.
|
||||
If your event needs financial or swag support (see below), this is a mandatory step.
|
||||
Please use the _Release Party_ template.
|
||||
. Once your party is approved, do the following:
|
||||
.. Add it to the https://apps.fedoraproject.org/calendar/Events/[Events Fedocal], so others can find it.
|
||||
.. Request a QR code to award the Release Party Attendee badge.
|
||||
You can do it by opening an issue at link:{team_issue_tracker}[Mindshare issue tracker].
|
||||
.. Put in a swag request ticket in the Event Requests repo (see below).
|
||||
.. Finalize your plans and hold your party.
|
||||
. After your party, write an event report.
|
||||
An event report lets the community know what happened and how it went.
|
||||
Ideally your report will be shared on the Fedora Community Blog, but posting it on your own blog and the Fedora Planet is fine too.
|
||||
If your event requires financial or swag support (see below), this is mandatory.
|
||||
These reports should help us understand what happened and how the party went.
|
||||
Ideas for what went well and what could be improved are welcome.
|
||||
. If you have financial assistance approved, file a reimbursement ticket in the link:https://gitlab.com/fedora/mindshare/event-requests[Event Requests repository].
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
== Financial Assistance and Swag
|
||||
|
||||
Release Parties and should be planned at least 30-40 days in advance.
|
||||
In our experience, events planned with less lead time are generally less successful.
|
||||
If you request swag, plan two weeks for shipping.
|
||||
|
||||
Follow the Getting Financial Assistance and Swag section xref:ROOT:advocate.adoc#_getting_swag_or_financial_support[here].

== Writing Your Event Report
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
You can link:{COMMBLOG}/wp-login.php[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 link:{COMMBLOG}/writing-community-blog-article/[guide on publishing articles on the CommBlog].
|
||||
Here's an example of a link:{COMMBLOG}/fedora-27-release-party-at-taipei/[Fedora 27 release party blog post].
|
||||
|
||||
* *Your own Blog*:
|
||||
If you have been maintaining your own blog, you can post it there as well.
