[Ambassadors] next EMEA Ambassadors IRC meeting

[Pierros Papadeas]

I could handle the next EMEA meeting. I am saying it, because no one
volunteered :) and I think it is quite important to be done.

Is there already an agenda? Shall we keep up with the every-other-week
schedule and make this an thematic one?
