</div>I am not really an Ambassador (only half :D ) but I don't see how an<br>
additional meet would not be useful, there are so many contributors in<br>
this area who didn't meet in person so far...<br>

<br>
</div>Except that not everyone can travel such long distance for the FUDCon,<br>
from various reasons, travel expenses being the biggest one.<br>

</div>I disagree, if it wasn't for the bunker, the costs for participation in<br>
Zurich FUDCon would have been prohibitive for many. In Balkans the costs<br>
have to be a lot lower: cheaper lodging, cheaper food. shorter<br>
travels... it only needs a good, motivated organizer.<br>
