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.
