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
