I agree that it might still get stuck, but I like making one single
point of contact for the people seeking to work with the community.

Yes, definitely.

What determine active in the FAS account?

People can set themselves as inactive, but no subgroup has actually a rule to deactivate accounts.
FAmSCo runs a script from time to time to remove inactive ambassadors directly from the FAS group. They will not show up in the list.

That map is fantastic. Do all ambassadors know about the need to fill
out their location?

Well, the map has some issues and is really slow. The script is in the FAmA pagure repo, but I don't have actually ideas how we can make it better.
And no, specially new ambassadors probably are not aware of the existence of this map.
I made a proposal some years ago to make this like mozilla (we have some mozilla ambassadors between us)
https://reps.mozilla.org/people/#/

I also tried, as the repo is on github, to rebuild it locally in order to make something similar for Fedora, and because I made this question to myself 5 years ago...
There is a map, you can easily make researches or just look on the map who is nearest to you. Not only that, you will get all information of the ambassador, like contact, events, activity etc etc...
Unfortunately I was not able to rebuild it, even after some hacks, but I don't remember why I failed (not really sure, but IIRC it's all django, so that would be easy).
It was during FLOCK 2013, and we talked about Hubs and agreed this should be something we want to have in the ambassador page, but Hubs still didn't land and so we are in the same situation as 4 years ago.

If anyone wants to have a look on this, would be excellent.
