Hi Mozillians!
As I can see on MozActivate (https://activate.mozilla.community/) page, there aren’t any end-user related events in the focus.
I am really curious, are we seek only interest of developers within the Reps program. I have 2 events that is related to attending on festivals. I think these events are good to reach people outside our capital, Budapest and engage youngsters (16-40) with Open Source, Mozilla products and introduce volunteer opportunities. Additionally we educate with topic like safe in Internet, using Sync, mobile Firefox, browser tricks, etc.
First I asked support (and swags) for the whole attendance:

It seems the events haven’t got support. (10000+ visitors, four days, at least 200+ unique IRL reach / day) I discussed this with the team members of these events and we decided to still making these with on our own budget and asking only for swags. But asking for swags are rejected:

Events are on etherpad:

Is the Reps program finally lost it’s end-user focus, or what is the problem with such activities?
Thank you in advance!
