I find this a little odd, because the word literally means "most<br>
important or best", and I don't think that's actually what we mean.<br>
<br>
My preference would be to not use this label for FADs. If we want to<br>
keep using the word, let's call Flock _the_ premier global Fedora<br>
event, and FUDCons premier regional events. I don't think we even need<br>
a special term for FADs.<br>
<br>
And, I think *some* FADs make sense from the central community budget<br>
(whether we call that the Council budget or something else), while<br>
others — like the ambassadors' planning FADs — make sense to me to be<br>
part of the regional budgets directly.<br></blockquote><div><br><br></div><div>then they will not happen, they eat easily a third of the regional budget.

<br>
This implies regionalizing some things which have not been<br>
traditionally in the ambassadors scope — for example, a translation<br>
activity day focused a language or languages of a region might be best<br>
planned and organized within that region.<br>
