In the future, possibly before the release of Fedora 10, the Board will begin accepting additional applications from groups that have reached this advanced stage of planning. We are using Fedora EMEA as a pilot to figure out a framework for enabling additional worldwide communities. We chose Fedora EMEA specifically because this group had already achieved a very high level of organization, community interest, and command of the details surrounding funding and legality in their region. I would urge any additional groups that are considering formation to reach a similar state of readiness by that time. The Board wants to ensure that Fedora's community groups worldwide develop consistently, and with proper resources to enable their success. > As President of the Board, the members elected Gerold Kassube (Germany), > long-time member of the Fedora Ambassador Team.

Congratulations to all the elected officials of Fedora EMEA.
