Hi there- I am opening this on behalf of @kristiprogri who works on coordination for the GUADEC event (she is having issues logging into her fedora account). Kristi is requesting that we consider sponsorship of the Gnome conference GUADEC for 2022. Links below to the sponsor page, 2022 sponsor brochure, and our ticket from last year

Edit with text from Kristi:
Fedora sponsorship
The GNOME Foundation is excited to kick off our return to in-person events with GUADEC 2022! GUADEC, the GNOME community's largest conference, has been bringing users, contributors, community members, and supporters together for the past 22 years with the help of generous sponsors like Red Hat and Fedora.
GUADEC 2022, our 23rd conference, will be held on July 20th-25th in Guadalajara, Mexico. This year is unique as it marks the 25th Anniversary of GNOME and our first GUADEC held in North America.
We hope this expansion of our flagship conference will make it easier for our community members in North and South America to attend and kick-start local participation in open source projects.
We're also continuing to utilize our work building an online GUADEC for the last two years by making this year a hybrid event. While we hope to see many of our members in person in Mexico, we're providing live streaming and remote talk options for anyone who wishes to attend virtually. We think GUADEC 2022 could go even further with Fedora as an official sponsor.
We've updated our 2022 sponsor levels and benefits to fit a hybrid event. We also have more customized sponsor opportunities for sponsoring coffee breaks, happy hours, social events, or even our 25th Anniversary celebration. More information on sponsorship opportunities is available in our brochure: https://www.gnome.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/GUADEC-SponsorBrochure-2022.pdf.
We hope that Fedora will consider joining us as a GUADEC 2022 sponsor! Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions or chat more about sponsorship opportunities.
Hello all, Thanks to the Fedora team, I managed to open my Fedora account. Please feel free to drop any questions regarding GUADEC, happy to assist with that.
I am +1 to this request at the Bronze level. Like we did last year, I think it would be good to set up an alternate benefit for the job board perk as I don't think that is relevant for us. I think last year we were able to replace that with a short office hours session. @kristip would that be possible?
An fyi to mindshare committee members: I put this in our projected budget numbers for this year, so there is space if we feel it is beneficial to continue the sponsorship. I saw a note in channel about publishing a budget report for the team to review and have that on my to do list, please give me a little time as I am juggling a bunch of urgent requests/process updates & some big personal stuff (moving this month)
+1
@riecatnor yes sure, we can allocate a 30 min session for Fedora, how does it sound to you?
+1 for bronze level sponsorship
+1 for 30 min session and +1 for bronze sponsorship as well.
Also I would like to see a person from Fedora WA over there to show our connection and Fedora as well.
+1 for bronze level sponsorship +1 for 30 min session
We discussed this in our Mindshare meeting today and we are ready to move forward with the bronze sponsorship of GUADEC 2022! @kristip I will reach out by email to work on the admin details.
