Yes this make sense !!
Fedora is evolving continuously. Whether its Fedora.Next, Fedora Council,
FAmSCo then Fedora OpenShift as an objective, G!1N and number of activities
still on the way.
Its not just matter of deciding budget but discussing challenges APAC
brings to the growth of Fedora community.

I would like to propose one more topic country wise strategy for Fedora
growth. There are already recommendation for University program, need to
decide few more on APAC side. Lets start adding these points to FAD wiki
then select few for in meeting and then work on schedule and other stuff.

Pravin Satpute
