While we cannot measure the Ambassador activity in an automated
manner,
That's the point. We strongly need a reporting system, maybe editing a website page,
where each ambassador "must" fill a standard module in order to check and gather
infos about his/her activities. This is useful for a several reasons:
- check ambys activities;
- monitor the money we spend
- collect data for metric/statistics
- marketing survey
And we should collect data from final users (not Fedora contributors) by a similar module
to fill by people visiting our booths at events.
I would expect that we could query 40 of them per month via an
automated process to just ask, "What did you do in the last 12 months" so we can
award a badge and know they are active. If we had each region do their own work on this
we could reduce the admin load even further.
I realize this is less than idea, however I have not seen any proposals for automated
reporting and this seems to be a consistent blocker.
As you know the marketing side of Ambys job consists also in contacts and attempts trying
to reach some results. Those are less measurable than a booth activity. Well, in a mktg
perspective, sometime, this is more valuable than a presence at booth. E.G. I'm trying
to promote Fedora in a higher level than events (I always thought that people, even if
free-software oriented, must undergo decisions of the companies in which they're
working); well, how we can measure the attempts to convince them?
We expect them to reply to requests, but some of them are active
maybe only 3 months a year. If you contact them in the other 9 months they might not reply
at all
In a marketing perspective I cannot accept this statement. I understand the fact that some
Ambys, due to their daily job, can't be very active, but an Ambassador is the Business
Card of the project, and they have a valuable impact for the Project, so they ever must be
reached by mail, and reply in a max. 3 days. IMO, the check should on the shoulders of
FAMA and a script that push out mails and matches the replies couldn't be so
complicated to do.
Thanks.
