The only thing I wanted to point out is that Novell is definitely
spending more money than they earn. Which includes Marketing. Which
includes all kinds of Community support.
The thing I want to point is that I dont care about Novells business plans.

I really don't know what you mean here. What bottlenecks are you
referring to? And it sounds as if you extend the discussion to a wider
field than before?
The issue is not money, the issue is that approvals from RHT side take too long.
So the money cannot be spent.

I really don't know what you mean by "EMEA striking for 2 release cycles
...".

The discussion is going into a wrong direction. As others already
pointed out. The Fedora Ambassador project has a decent budget which was
(still is) not even totally used. So, if there are ideas how to spend it
more effective and lasting, I am sure that the FAmSCO and its budget
manager consider every constructive contribution.
How can you spend budget, which you cannot approve for yourself, aka.
which is not your budget but RHT budget.
See the issue?
Fedora wants to move on, but RHT employees/managers/executives are our
bottleneck.
Cant we either get more RHT managers who release load from the
existing ones, or cant we as a community get a general RHT statement
which allows us to spend the budget in the name of RHT?
