</div>I think they have started to realize the options of hosting a FAD. At<br>
least this FUDCon bidding has fueled a lot of opportunities, although<br>
the involvement of Red Hat China has always been minimal until the<br>
FUDCon. Hope this has changed in a permanent way.<br>

</div>About the travel costs... yes... But I also wonder why this budget for<br>
APAC is smaller than EMEA or NA for instance. The costs for travel to<br>
APAC is generally more expensive, while service costs (food, hotel,<br>
venue) is usually less. At least for China it is.<br>
