Quoting Max Spevack from
https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-ambassadors-list/2008-May/msg00051.html

According to Gerold there were two reasons for the 128 EUR:
a) "we are binary people" and 128 EUR equals 2*2*2*2*2*2*2.
b) "we are having the same fee in my local LUG, too"
Honestly I don't think that any of these sounds convincing. Maybe there
are better reasons, but this is what Gerold told me on the phone.

Hope that helps,
Felix
