[Ambassadors] Travel Sponsorships for Flock in EMEA

[Mailga]

Hi Zoltan,

just one clarification. 
The list for rewarding people with the t-shirt involved the group leaders; maybe it's too much complicate doing the same for the flock invitation.

But yes, I agree it's an idea we should work on IMHO.

See you.
