FAD EMEA 2008 – Call for Involvement
July 18th, 2008 — red_alertI already blogged once about the upcoming FAD EMEA 2008. Since then, the wiki page has evolved quite a bit and a few people listened to my “call for involvement” so far. I already asked for everyone’s involvement in my previous blog post (only shortly), at the last ambassadors EMEA IRC meeting, on the ambassadors mailing list and now I repeat it here (including the planet) again.
There’s that FAD EMEA 2008 upcoming, to which everyone’s invited, with a special focus on EMEA people. Even though “ambassadors” is the A in FAD, any non-ambassador contributor is welcome too! But remember, that we’re mainly talking about ambassador and maybe marketing topics.
So everyone who’s interested in attending, go to the wiki page and add your name to the lsit of attendees. If done so, don’t forget to state your location and date of preference. Also, you’re welcome to add your ideas to the fun agenda. Ideas that don’t fit on the wiki page are welcome too – answer to the thread on the mailing list, send me a private e-mail, answer to this blog post, try to catch me on IRC or Jabber, send me a letter, visit me for a beer or two or a drink….it doesn’t really matter how you let me know of your fantastic ideas as long as you just tell me what you’ve got!
The last FAD EMEA was good for efficient planning of the year 2008, good for establishing new and tighten already established relations, good for team building, good for some fun, good for hacking (some guys even created some new rpms incidentally), good for tasty food, good for just so many reasons! In short: it’s been a great event.
But we’d not be the Fedora ambassadors, if we’d not made it even greater this year. But in order to do so, we need the help of everyone who’s planning to attend the FAD EMEA 2008. So please, answer this call for involvement. Go to the wiki page, add yourself and your opinions and drop me a line or two. Thanks!

These FADs are a *great* way to keep the momentum very high in the EMEA Ambassadors group. As you might have seen, the overall marketing team is trying to regroup around the “4 foundations” message — freedom, friends, features, and first. I hope this helps with the framework around any marketing you guys come up with during FAD EMEA 2008. I can’t wait to hear about the proceedings!
