See > https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Premier_Fedora_Events So, from that page, the label "premier" basically means "an event all about Fedora, run by Fedora". As structured, that means central organization for those, and ambassadors for Fedora presence at non-Fedora events. I'm in favor of a wider scope for Ambassadors, to also include regional premier events (at least to some degree — doesn't mean that we'd throw out assistance from other parts of the project or OSAS). That would include FADs focused on specific regions (like the ambassador planning FADs or a translation sprint), and possibly FUDCon too (but not Flock). > > We want to do > > that differently for FY18 — probably split out at least Flock, > > and have non-regional budget for marketing and other centralized > > community activities. > Right, and that's exactly what we already have or at least what we > used to have before OSAS, see > https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Accounting and > https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Community_Architecture_expenses > Please let me know is something has changed and I'm mistaken. I think those pages are woefully out of date. I think it most matches the statement "what we used to have before OSAS". -- Matthew Miller <mattdm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Fedora Project Leader _______________________________________________ council-discuss mailing list council-discuss@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/council-discuss The Fedora Project's mission is to lead the advancement of free and open source software and content as a collaborative community.
