FUDCon EMEA 2011 will be held in Milan, Italy
Jared K. Smith[1] on Mon Apr 11 21:50:49 UTC 2011 announced[2],
"I am pleased to announce that the FUDCon conference in the EMEA region in 2011 will be in Milan, Italy. We had four excellent bids for the EMEA FUDCon this year (Milan, Budapest, Dublin, and Zurich) and all four proposals were well done. The Milan bid has several potential dates, so I will be working together with the Milan bid team and FAmSCo and our community of European ambassadors to choose a date that works well for all involved."

Fedora Events
The purpose of event is to build a global Fedora events calendar, and to identify responsible Ambassadors for each event. The event page is laid out by quarter and by region. Please maintain the layout, as it is crucial for budget planning. Events can be added to this page whether or not they have an Ambassador owner. Events without an owner are not eligible for funding, but being listed allows any Ambassador to take ownership of the event and make it eligible for funding. In plain words, Fedora events are the exclusive and source of marketing, learning and meeting all the fellow community people around you. So, please mark your agenda with the following events to consider attending or volunteering near you!
Upcoming Events (March - May 2011)
- North America (NA)[1]
- Central & South America (LATAM): [2]
- Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA)[3]
- India, Asia, Australia (India/APJ)[4]
