Project Selection Methods ( Mon Sep 7 2009 )

Benefit mesurement models have been choosen and have been oriented on cost,risks and community goodwill factors.

The results are :

• A mean for EMEA Fedora and Red Hat Community to meet each others physically.
• A opportunity to show and explain and share new projects to others communities.
• An occasion to explain the Fedora/Red Hat characteristics to visitors.
• A way to see, discuss and share opinions and readjust strategies.
• Well, a chance to build better open source solutions

Project Requirements - issued by EMEA Fedora coordinators - ( Mon Oct 15 2009 )

In general, as the manager of community funding that comes from Red
Hat, Max invests a good deal of responsibility in the Ambassador
coordinators from each region.  Those teams decide what events are
important to them for building Fedora awareness and community in
their respective regions.

The Ambassador coordinators from each region have a budget for each
fiscal quarter, and decide how to use that money wisely.  We work
with the coordinators to plan spending when something unforeseen
comes up.

Anyone who is planning an event starts the process by putting the
event on the calendar, so that event is included in funding
considerations for the fiscal quarter in which it happens.

Following that, the Ambassador(s) responsible for the event work on
funding issues (including sponsorship) with the coordinators.  Max
and I are available to resolve any issues or questions that come up
in that process, but it helps the Fedora Project operate in a smooth
and scalable way if these requests don't all come to the two of us
individually.  That is why we invest trust and responsibility in the
Ambassador coordinators and individuals.

So the purpose for your being at an upcoming EMEA Ambassadors meeting
is to explain the amount of sponsorship needed and show exactly what
Fedora will get from that sponsorship money.  That will help the
coordinators weigh this request against the budget available for that
fiscal quarter, figure out what we desire to do and what we can afford
to do, and hopefully find the best fit between those two points.
