I might be speculating but does this question arise because we don't see 
increase in number of contributors from APAC after an event like FUDCon 
APAC?

If that is the case, we might want to re-look at large event like FUDCon 
in this region and focus on having measurable ambassador programs and 
smaller local conferences which is not heavy on budget but good means to 
nurture and develop potential local Fedora contributors.
We should look at Flock as a global event and fly key contributors from 
APAC. IMO, that will be more  rewarding for people who really 
contribute. If we see the number of key contributors increase from this 
region then we can re-introduce FUDCon APAC?

My .2 cents.

Cheers,
Sudhir
