Maria,

we all had those ideas for FEDORA EMEA, legally a club, but then Red Hat 
says, it could appear to US tax authorities, who have no jurisdiction in 
Germany (as the club is based there), that this is an official Red Hat 
entity, so then it was kind of implied we would have to change it's 
name. Then about selling stuff, they don't want to sell goods, I guess 
it is too much hassle for them. And we as the community cant make much 
of a fuss, as they donate thousands! And the Fedora board has to grant 
the privilege to make and sell goods, which for Fedora EMEA, they did 
(apparently). It is all a bit of a pain in the back side. You might find 
some discussions with regards to this all, in the meetings logs of the 
EMEA meetings. All I can say is, this is frustrating for everyone. I 
sent this message just to you, just so you know, what went on before. So 
brace yourself for problems, if you want to pursue this topic further. I 
personally hope you will, maybe somebody at Red Hat will listen.

Good luck and all the best.

Regards,
Tristan
