Just some thoughts on event boxes. In Fedora, I’ve seen many posts about having kits and easy ways for people to run events in the community spaces. I am also learning that in Amsterdam, there is less FOSS meetups than I expected so I’m trying to change that.

Reading this post: https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/fedora-community-blueprint-all-you-need-to-know/163038 I’ve learned that this also seems to be a common thing with the absence of Ambassadors.

This list is just a collection of resources which might help and I am thinking about backporting into the CommOps docs.
