Hi Christoph,

You do not need answer this. I think most people are sick of our ping pong 
game :P

You read my comment about help/sponsoring this people?

The Fedora Board has given Fedora EMEA e.V. the right to use the 
Brand "Fedora" (Name, Artwork, Logo ...) and requested quarterly Report to 
have the overview that we act in there terms. If we will not do our Job, they 
can take us this right - without this Fedora EMEA e.V. is nothing.

I think is good to have Friends from all over the world in Berlin. Last Year 
we had Kushal in Berlin and i am sure it is not the last time we had fun 
together. I am also sure most of us in Germany would take the chance to get a 
sponsored flight to india or US to speak about our work in europe. This Year 
Contributors like Yakoov from US will join us - next year another one - for 
me this is a good choice.

Yes! And be sure many more about him - i can call him a good fellow!

To sponsor flights for Speakers in the end is a decission who is taken by 
FedoraCommunity Leader EMEA MaxSpevack. How we handle the Member Fee not.
Only a Example - solution for membership could also be, that the NPO Members 
decide to create a Activity-CreditSystem - less MemberFee for doing something 
like talks, events ... 

> And if

The answer is yes - so i am now?

like your kind question in 
http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-ambassadors-list/2007-December/msg00019.html
You must like our Events a lot!

Sorry to say, you never showed an interest in the preparation for the NPO in 
Front of Fosdem or other events, or interest to work in a team with the 
majority of European Ambassadors.

I believe you, when you say - you do a lot for the Fedora Project as a 
Maintainer or so ...!
To work as a Ambassador is to communicate and encourage. Tue Gutes und rede 
darueber ;-)  Back to work now!

Gruss Joerg
