Clearly that would be great to define a bit more how the decision would be made.
We speak between ambassadors, and the FAmSCo have the budget approval.
Even if the FUDCon is organized by ambassadors, it's mostly a devel

It's not about ambassador only, and I know many contributors knowing
more about FUDCon than ambassador the tasks.
