Dear Friends,<br><br>I know this is an quite sad thing - but it&#39;s true. After many happenings, and huge amount of work, completing the bid, I would like to announce that we&#39;re decided to withdraw the current bid, in reasons that so many circumstances are changed - that makes unsure to we could host at Budapest this time such big event. We don&#39;t want to loose, but also I think we haven&#39;t lost anything as we decided to step aside - it&#39;s better to not to risk before something terribly happens. Somebody says it&#39;s not a good sign to loose it again, but we say that we haven&#39;t lost anything. It&#39;s opposite - we know how important to learn, and we learn every day a lot. As we grow, and build our community we always step one at a time, and if I remember back - we did a lot before, and we have to do afterwards, but not this time. Yes, I know we have decided to run at second time to host the event when we held the Fedora Round Table, and also we received an big amount of support - but that wasn&#39;t a wasted time and effort, nor a mistake. But look, we had begun from zero, and we are first who made an small, but stable base for Fedora users in central Europe. Also we have gained our own hosted local portal, that grows every day bigger. Several of our users directly contributing already, our ambassadors are working continuously - to build, gain, and keep contacts. So - we haven&#39;t given up, just - as we think - selected the right choice.  <br>

<br>We would like to thank you everybody who have supported us, and ensured to will support us - please don&#39;t be disappointed - we are grateful for your support. Also we would like to congratulate to Paris, FR people - we hope that you guys make an awesome event. As usually if somebody wants to visit us at Hungary, we&#39;ll welcome you or anybody on any of our upcoming local events.  <br>
