The idea behind the Fedora European Coordinator is to have an European
Reference point, he doesn't override all the other activity, he manage
the European Issue. A steering committee would be not useful at all, we
need a person who can represent all people, that have all the situation
in his hands and be the representative of Fedora European Infrastructure
   into the Fedora Project.

We have just a FAmSCo that is composed by European members, we haven't a
Leader...

That's my opinion
