Your request will be submitted through Bugzilla. The questions above will help you answer their main questions for each and every event they have to decide on supporting (to better allocate the limited resources we have): 1. Which functional area goals is this supporting and how?In case you're still wondering, SUMO events are supporting ... support ;-) (you can also call it "user engagement and volunteer participation"). Specialized events (an AoA workshop, an L10n sprint, etc.) will be supporting a particular segment of that. 2. What are the event goals? What's success for this event? How are you going to measure it?Each event should have measurable goals, so that you can know at the end of it whether it was successful or not. 3. Why this budget is needed for the success of the event?You should justify your expenses here, giving a general description of what you plan to use the budget for. 4. Detailed agendaYes, you definitely need this before you start an event! An agenda makes it easier to figure out whether your event will be successful and what support it may need. 5. [https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/1/d/12FDeW3Qd5M2Mfpr8e7edCfXcUtqHP3lh3xwSln8w4G4/edit?usp=drive_web Detailed breakdown template]This document helps you list as many details for all the spending and support you will need as possible. You should attach it to the bug for the event as son as you have it. This document will also help you keep track of who paid and what for. 6. Are there "optional" costs not needed for the success of the event? Which ones? What the minimum viable budget?Be smart about the money! If you save on something that is not absolutely necessary for your event, everyone will benefit from this - the saved money can go towards We are not always able to spend as much as we would like, because there are hundreds of events around the world each year, and this is not Pokemon (we _can't_ support them all). If you have questions or are confused about any of the above items on any of the question lists, please contact us at the emails mentioned above.
