Another reason would be that what is discussed on these meetings are quite related to the french speaking community (we speak about the association, the website, the french events...) and not only french ambassador are present, but all the member of the community that wants to be a bit more involved present on the community. What I mean is that people not part of that community would I guess be quite bored on these meeting.
However I do be in favor of the EMEA meetings, I think it would be much more interesting in the way that you definitively feel more concerned by a event that occurs close to you .
Another point that needs to be discussed, I think, is what do would be the subject of such meetings ? Is it a review of what have been done and what will be done ? Is it a discussion of what is going on around your country ? Is it like on event, reflection of what can be done and how to do it to improve the promotion of fedora, the organization of the people involved in the fedora project ? Is it a review of what has been good or bad in the relation to the fedora project ? Is it a reflection on how to improve them ?
If we want to get people involved for long in these meeting, we need to have subject, that "can not" be discussed via the mailing list...
"Why should we go to the meeting ?" This question is, to my mind, one of the most important.
Well that is it for me :) Just my two cents to the reflection about these meetings :)
Best regards, P.Yves
