FAD EMEA 2006

= FAD EMEA 2006 =

Last weekend, the very first Fedora Ambassadors Day (FAD) was held at the Swiss-German border.

GeroldKassube, ChitleshGoorah, FabianAffolter, FlorianBrand, FrancescoUgolini, JensKuehnel and JoergSimon covered the four important and active Countries and regions in EMEA: France, Italy, Germany and Switzerland at the first FAD.

These Fedora Ambassadors have gone though their scheduled agenda, discussed various subjects, agreed/disagreed on many numerous topics, proposed new ideas and planned to organise and participate in as much Linux events as possible.

On the agenda, there were:
 * Status of local contributions to the Fedora Project.
 * Status of newly recruited Fedora Ambassadors
 * Difficulties encountered
 * Some notes from FAMSCo members and Fedora Board members.
 * Next Events and FUDCon in Europe

Among the decisions taken there are:
 * To help new ambassadors with a mentee program
 * To enhance FAMSco voting system
 * To assign via vote one Fedora Ambassador as FAMSCo member who will represent his/her region or continent.
 * Strong presence on FOSDEM,Chemnitz and FROSCON(Hattrick)
 * To provide appropriate support to local community websites in order to spread the message the Fedora way

All these items will be announced soon on the Fedora Ambassadors mailing list.
