Hi,
I don't understand some reactions here. Fedora-FR is NOT some kind of
unofficial subgroup of fp.o ambassadors, but rather a local Fedora User
Group similar to LUGs.

The French community has been structured around fedora-fr.org unofficial
website & forum, some members started regular local meetings (Lyon, Nantes,
Paris etc.), a documentation project, assistance to new contributors etc..
Our goal is to federate not only French ambassadors but all French and
French-speaking Fedora users.
Regular physical meetings have helped newcomers and users to integrate our
community

Fedora-FR should be seen as a companion organisation to fp.o ambassadors.
Fedora-FR gathers hundred people maybe thousands in the future, French
fp.oambassadors are about a dozen.
As an association, we will be able to collect and share some ressources, and
have a _legal existence_. Fedora-FR aims to ease and leverage French
ambassadors work and organizing meetings between users.
Human contacts are a better way to promote Fedora rather than mailing-lists
and irc.

We're as eager as you to set up an EMEA structure lead by Fedora
Ambassadors, but it cannot replace local user groups and vice-versa. An EMEA
structure should  also lean on local user groups to strenghten its action,
if we don't, such structure could only fail.

Best regards
H. G.
