Yes,

It is always good to recognize a work done by the community people. Even if it is small contribution of CD / DVD or other monitory terms should be recognize.

But need to check properly , and it a duty of Ambassadors.

I can help make sure that you get some Fedora 9 Live CDs.  How many do
you think you will need?

we wish to have about 1000 cd/dvds, but only just printed CD...
in my previous email I meant I didn't want fedora spends money to
print fedora 9 cds ;-)
^^
for sure?????? ONE Thousand DvDs???? We burned for Linuxtag with more
than 10.000 visitors, and three other events 600 ....

Gerold -- I don't know if this is on the Ambassadors areas of the wiki
somewhere, but it's very useful information.  If Ambassadors have some
guidelines for how many pieces of media they should consider requesting,
it helps in the overall budget planning as well.

It may not be as simple as saying "1 CD for every {5,10,...} people."
For some small events, it makes sense to have 1 piece of media for each
person.  For some larger ones, the ratio may need to be smaller if we
want to stay within budget!

This would be a useful thing to consider drafting and having the
Ambassador community think about.  I don't think it needs to be an
absolute rule, but rather a guideline for planning.

Indeed - we should add a field to the Events and Archived Events page
to denote money and media and swag handed out - that would be
tremendously useful for future planning.

This is an issue that FAMSCo should take up at their next meeting --
setting some guidelines for media production.  The budget will be the
biggest factor in the number of pieces of media available at an event.
Therefore FAMSCo should be thinking about what portion of the money is
sensible to spend on media for events.
