It's not clear to me what you are asking for here.

The ASF is a charity and thus does not sponsor events other than its own.
We sometimes help with getting the word out to our communities as a
"community sponsor". The links in your mail are missing so it is hard to
tell if this is something that would be broadly interesting to our
communities as a whole.

Hello Ross,
thank you for your reply.
Below the missing links to the website[1] and video[2], sorry about that.
The objective is provide to speakers (most from ASF) and attendees an
enjoyable
experience in a not ordinary venue.
I did not expect any financial support from ASF, just support to get the
word
out.

Maurizio
