Hi, I think some of these are fairly arbitrary ...

It's ok to mandate a license (as an organizer) but you might want to include a few more Open content licenses, like for instance: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing:Main#Content_Licenses > - *For Organiser* > - *Video Recording : *You must provide video recording for all > speaker.

What have these things got to do with FOSS ? > - *T-Shirt* : You must provide TShirt to all audience. Same as above. > - Tshirt may or may not contain all sponsors but it should not > highlight a particular sponsors in misleading ways Too general. What do you mean by highlighting ? Also, to take a step back, why is this restriction there in the first place ? If for example FSF-India becomes the largest sponsor for an event, I would think it fair for them to have the largest logo on the event tshirt. I think you might want to distinguish between 'rules' and 'guidelines'. > - The Design of Tshirt must be uploaded in SVG/PNG format using > CC-By-SA license. See above comment on content licenses. > - *Gift to Speaker : *You must provide gifts to speakers. Random. See comment on rules Vs guidelines.
