Dear All,
This proposal is utter nonsensical.
To quote: For the 2nd case: The process should have at least two levels,
or maybe three. Ambassadors of that particular country can propose
removing inactive ambassadors in their country at the regional meeting.
So, considering the UK has not that many ambassadors, unfortunately.
That would then mean a few people can throw out others. Also, how much
workload do you want to give FAmSCo ?
Which then gets me to another point, that of, being a Fedora Ambassador
is not a JOB. Many Ambassadors do a lot of work for Fedora directly or
indirectly, which never shows up on any mailing lists, irc channels or
otherwise. So how will you quantify this ?
Also, if you are not going to chase up on people, what is the point of
this proposal at all ?
Nevermind the fact, if you delegate this to countries or regions, these
countries or regions will have to be organised. So, who will run this
organisation ? Also, adding on a side point on this issue, I have had to
tell a group of ambassadors in another country to grow up, before.
Simply because they were having a dispute amongst themselves and were
bickering about it like little Children and not like mature adults.
So, with regards to this proposal, it will only lead to tears and people
abusing this. Which only creates more work for FAmSCo.
Also, I believe you give way too much credence to the "status of: Fedora
Ambassador". Now, if you find anyone who is abusing this "attachment" to
the Fedora Project, by feeding in disinformation or otherwise
misrepresenting their relation to the Fedora Project and the rest of us
all, then I would agree, there would be a case to answer. However, even
there, where do you draw the line ? A lot of us are critical of certain
aspects of how the project is progressing. And we had countless
discussions about directions and other issues, which were heavily
discussed with a larger variety of opinions, than the pool of IPv6
addresses.
I would like to think that this makes the Fedora Project a great place
to be involved within the FOSS community.
Regards,
Tristan
