Fedora European Infrastructure (FEI)
This idea has been in the back of my mind since FOSDEM 2007, and we are working on making it a reality right now. Have a look here -- http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/MaxSpevack/FY09
This is the draft for Fedora European Infrastructure for the upcoming european budget, initially started at Fosdem 2007 .
Aim
Establish a proper European Infrastructure which will coordinate FedoraEvents in Europe through one person ("Executive").
Leadership
Role of Executive

- interaction between different European event-teams
- work together with other Fedora Projects (than Ambassador) in the future
- define with the Ambassadors which events (per year) should be covered (directly during a ["FAD"] )
- hold strength communication with FAMSCo and the Fedora Board
Requirements to be the Executive
- speak both a local language and English
- be a known active former local ambassador
- constant investment of time and work is needed
- strength diplomatic skills
