Hello,
I do agree that, since the EMEA FAD did not take place, it will be nice to have
some sort of a meetup to create a plan for the next year.
We could have had an opportunity during FOSDEM as well (i.e. stay an extra day
in Brussels and meet somewhere), but unfortunately many (if not all) of us have
finalized our travel arrangements already.
So, who is already planning to attend DevConf?
If we subsidize some active contributors to participate, then it wouldn't make
much sense (budget-wise) to hold a meeting just for a few hours. It's also not
safe to assume that we can have a proper meeting right after the conference
ends, for a number of reasons.
It would be really nice If we could get a room at Red Hat Brno, for one or two
days before or after DevConf. We can have a solid FAD there, and the same
ambassadors we subsidize for the FAD will also represent Fedora at DevConf. Two
birds, one stone.
What do you think?

Hello everyone,
I totally agree with Zacharias and Sessivany. I also think that this
meetup is a must in order to make our event plan, coordinate among us and
propose the budget for the next year. I think it is a great idea of having an
EMEA ambassadors meetup during or after the DevConf so in this way we can
reduce the costs of organizing it independetly. In my opinion this form of
organizing this meetup has all the advantages that Zacharias has listed in his
email.
If i can help you in anyway please let me know. :)
Happy holidays everyone! :D
