Being an Ambassador is not a hard and fast requirement. Much of the work in planning a FUDCon has nothing to do with representing the Fedora Project's values or mission. It has much more to do with organization and dealing with vendors. Having said that, a good FUDCon would also attract and involve Ambassadors in the region. In fact, I wouldn't foresee a FUDCon being successful without any Ambassador involvement at all. By the way, I don't think Nelson was suggesting that! Having a bigger planning team naturally makes the work more efficient, of course. If you were looking to bid for a FUDCon for 2011, you simply respond to the opening of bids for your region. For the Europe/Middle East/Africa (EMEA) region, this is due to happen around the fall of 2010. -- Paul W.
