This is exactly what we envisioned for Fedora EMEA to be, and this is 
exactly what it is.

As we've said before, it's not to become the largest sub-set of Fedora 
Project Contributors, and we don't want the money coming from Fedora 
Project Contributors. In fact, it's completely vice-versa. We want the 
Fedora EMEA money to end up with the Fedora Project Contributors.

We've also said before that Fedora EMEA is not the decisive organ in 
where money gets spend and where it doesn't. FAmSCo makes up the budget 
per-event.
