So what is being done to help Fedora have a stronger presence in Africa. I mean it seems there's little being done on the sub-regional level for West Africa

Are there any plans, schedules or time lines being adhered to or its about every ambassador for himself?

I'll write more about this in greater detail in the future, but my assessment is that we have quite a bit of energy in Egypt (in particular Cairo), and I'd love to help our Ambassadors there organize a Fedora Activity Day, or a mid-to-large-size event somewhere in the next 6-9 months.
^^
In addition i am working with "Mohammed Safwat" one of Egyptian Ambassadors for organizing Fedora Event, initial draft of event is ready, soon it will be added to Fedora Event list and will announce here in mailing list too, i hope this could be a starting point for us in future for Egypt !
 
 


In general, FAMSCO needs guidance from the local Ambassadors as to what events offer good opportunities, or as to whether it's possible to get together a group of students at a University, etc. for some Fedora talks.

It's not "every ambassador for themselves" but we do rely on local Ambassadors to figure out what sort of strategy might make sense for their region, and write about it to the list.
