I did not said it is the ideal way. With the infrastructure right now it
is easier to get reimbursed or pay by credit card or paypal. Until
solved - produce small ammounts for your event yourself - not ideal but
better than nothing - as we have it now!

Centralized production is more expensive and often require purchase
orders - which take for ever - and shipping from a centralized location
which i volunteered to do so as soon as Credit Card is in place.

You can read the "but"? i want to clarify it more
s/but is a agreement/but there is a exception/s

I just pointed it out to clarify that there is the possibility for
FAmSCo Members to give a fast approval for lower ammounts so people can
produce the SWAG they need for their event - even if we think it is not
the ideal way - again better than nothing

question does not apply here

We are not the Borg, Ambassadors have every right to produce local SWAG
if they think it helps them to promote Fedora, if there is Budget for it
and FAmSCo is ok with the idea - therefore we elect them!

as said before we speak about a fixed ammount they can decide on!

yes they can, as example if a local Ambassador Group want to produce a
small ammount of SWAG - they could decide to make it in a larger for the
whole region ;)
