The large majority of the Design Team is based outside North America 
(true, our greatest star *is* from NA), with strong presence in Europe 
and South America, but we also have contributors from Middle East and 
Far East.

There is Libre Graphics Meeting, which will happen this year at the end 
of May in Brussels - I have a few plans about that and hope some 
European contributors will be able to participate.

Beyond being a community, Fedora is software so the works are mostly 
digital... there is little need for shipping. However, flying people in 
North America... this is difficult.

Having a "real" gallery with rooms and printed works is going to be 
*expensive*.

PS: we weren't able to put together even the Picture Book -

budget and photographers.
