[Ambassadors] Re: [FOSDEM 2019] Having additional Fedora event?

[Radka Janekova]

Hi,

Fedora generally organizes such events around devconf.cz as we have large
number of contributors based in the same city (Brno.) I personally don't
even know one contributor based directly in Brussels, yet someone to
organize such event, which may be a dealbreaker.
