Your points are good ones, Francesco.  I'd like to suggest that this
work be done n coordination with the Marketing team.  Further, I'd
like to suggest that as much as possible we try to use existing
networks, groups, and channels that have large numbers of subscribers
already, if the event listings target the whole Fedora Project.

I frequently receive email from people asking if they should create
*new* groups on existing networks.  I think this is justified if the
new group will be language or locality specific.  The new local group
should always have information available for people to find and join
the larger, global groups.  Also, they should have information for
people to find and join the Fedora Project itself, and encourage
people to get involved beyond their locality where possible.

Francesco's idea is great. I would like to suggest that we divide responsibility i.e. we let one or two ambassador handle a particular network. We can further have country/region specific threads running on it. which can further managed by country/region specific ambassador. We should further try our best to avoid creating multiple spaces or threads of same country/region as it will only lead to confusion and mismanagement.
