Hi all, please excuse my clear words but I am very unsatisfied and I want to tell you that this association is founded alone by our french friends; has nothing to do with all other Ambassadors in the Rest of EMEA ... No other than the french people were involved in that. This is _NO; I reply _NO_ European, EMEA or Global Association. As you all have read in the FAD meeting minutes from Linuxtag were more that 10 different Country (with Ambassadors) were presented, the Rest without a french participation was talking about to create a global or at least EMEA Association. Just for all of you as information. Personally I hope, our french friends will have the success they hoped but also I personally hope to support a European one ...
