- Two major events
- FUDCon EMEA 2009
- One other (maybe LinuxTag)
- Various mid-level events
- CLT 2008, OpenExpo, Cebit 2009, FOSDEM 2010, FrOSCon 2009, etc.
- Make it easy for ambassadors to organize small events in their countries
- Two major events
- What do we want to focus on in addition to events?
- What do we need from Red Hat?
- What are the biggest problems Fedora faces in EMEA?
- How are our smaller communities doing?
Fun Agenda
Feel free to add your own ideas. Please note, that we most probably won't make this decision public before the FAD has begun - see it as a little surprise. We might or might not take anything that was suggested here. But your ideas are a great help for brainstorming, anyway.
Ideas:
- Augusta Raurica (old Roman city) -- red
- Feldschloesschen Brewery, which is inside a very nice castle -- red
- Eat some local food speciality -- GeroldKa / red
Budget
- MaxSpevack has indicated that he can provide at least 500 EUR budget for this event. As we get closer, the number may go up. Budget will be used for travel subsidies, lodging subsidies, food, and some fun event.
