Well, Ruth told me that she allocated the money in that way. That may
be separate from who _manages_ it.

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).

I think those pages are woefully out of date. I think it most matches
the statement "what we used to have before OSAS".
