Are you a speaker or presenter?

Yes, I've submitted a talk on how AI changes open source with a couple of examples from Fedora and Fedora related projects.

Are you an organizer or volunteer?

No response

Why is it a good idea for the Fedora Project to have a presence?

It's the largest event in the country, other distributions are there, too: openSUSE, Ubuntu,... It's a great opportunity to talk to Fedora users and potential Fedora users.

Why do you want to represent the Fedora community here?

I have been doing it since 2011, so it's a sort of duty for me. :)

Are there others in the Fedora community who could help this event be successful?

Yes, Tomáš Hrčka and Vojtech Trefný have already promised me they would help with the booth.

Is there anything else the Fedora Mindshare Committee should know when reviewing your request?

+1 from my end. We should be able to muster up that amount until Q4 2026.

Please follow up with an event report after you are back and thank you for representing Fedora Project!

I'm located in the Brno office. Should I talk to Dorka? I think I'm going to take the whole event box with me. Any instructions how much of the swag in the Brno office to use?
