Good evening,
why do we mark Iceland on our regions map as North America (rather EMEA)? Just to avoid misunderstandings, I am talking about:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors#Where_are_we.3F
If Wikipedia isn't wrong, Iceland is closer to continental Europe than to mainland North America through ;-) Personally I would treat Iceland to Europe, thus to EMEA - and Wikipedia's EMEA page would agree here, too. And
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/MembershipService/Verification
also marks Iceland as part of EMEA (as I would expect), so do we have a bug on the regions map maybe? Whatever we agree on (added an Icelander to Cc), it would be great to make this at least consistent across the wiki pages :)
Greetings, Robert

If I had to guess, I would say this was a mistake or an accident. As a member of FAmNA, I personally have no disagreement with marking Iceland as part of the EMEA region – it makes more sense to me too.
I suppose the next step would be to find the original source image for that graphic and begin the process for updating it.

Hi Robert, I think nobody noticed it till now, but we have a similar, but even worse, error on http://fedoracommunity.org/emea where Russia is totally missing because on the map it belongs to APAC (!)...also, Iceland on the community map is part of EMEA, so at least it is correct there. I'm pretty sure we had a ticket for this issue but I'm not able to find it now; I think we should fix these maps ASAP, maybe opening a new ticket on the Design Trac [1].

I just noticed the color Iceland is marked with while explaining something to a Fedora contributor yesterday evening - and I saw the graphics already lots of times before ;-)
Btw, good catch with Russia, didn't pay attention to it so far. The other IMHO wrong thing on the graphic you mention is that Greenland is added to EMEA rather to North America.

I will file tickets like tonight or so (if somebody wasn't faster already), but I first wanted to clarify if this wasn't maybe even intended.

Not sure about Greenland, it's true it's part of the american continent, but politically Greenland is part of Denmark.
