We held the Fudcon bids election today on IRC, however, on the election a
lot of people without CLA +1 has voted it.
It's important that despite we want to host the Fudcon in our country, we
have to be aware of the rules, the Fudcon host is something that should be
voted by contributors, not by people outside of the project.
So, the election will be rebooted and only the people having CLA+1 will be
taking into account.
The election starts today and will be closed the next Friday.
Please, if you have CLA +1. vote here,

Athos and I we are thinking to make a system for the next time for voting
in fudconlatam.org or ask to Fedora Elections system to set the Fudcon
election there.
Thanks in advance.
Cheers.

As Neville pointed, let's wait for the group admins to acknowledge this
thread so we can open a single ticket to remove the groups.
Does anyone know if fedora-uk had any different purpose than this?

Hello Ambassadors,
As some may know, there are a few FAS regional groups in Fedora, they
are:
fedora-ar
fedora-br
fedora-cl
fedora-ec
fedora-mx
fedora-ni
fedora-pa
fedora-pr
fedora-py
fedora-uk
fedora-ve
With exception from fedora-uk, all of them refer to LATAM countries.
Right now, there are several people in the fedora-br FAS group who are
not in any other FAS group but CLA. I suspect that this is true for
most of the other groups on the list.
fedora-br currently has 101 members. I bet more than half are not in any
other groups also, less than 25% are actually active AFAIK.
When we add non-contributors to them, they get mail aliases, fedora
people instances, right to edit wikis, etc. The only way these groups
would be worth for anything would be if they were cleaned up every 6
months after a survey on the mailing lists. This way, we would be able
to know who the ACTIVE contributors in a country are.
I am willing to remove all the non contributors from this group, i.e.:
if they are not CLA + other group, you cannot be part of these groups.
my plan would be:
A)
1 - remove non contributors
2 - survey with active brazilians
3 - politely email non active people and remove them from the group
4 - write the group purpose somewhere (wikipage)
5 - make active ambassadors sponsors of the group
6 - run the survey every 6 months(?) removing inactive ppl
7 - suggest all the other fedora-{region} groups do the same
OR
B)
1 - suggest deletion of all these groups
After talking to some people, I am more inclined to going with plan B,
since these groups are only in LATAM and UK and there are other means
to map where contributors are from.
Any thoughts? Also, is anyone using any of these groups for other
purposes?

The question is not silly (I was asking myself this question earlier),
but as I said before, currently they serve no purpose. This email is
either proposing that we start using them for something or remove them.
As potty said, they were used as some sort of census tool in the past.
