Yes, I could choose to write a report once a month. But I don't. I
make a different choice as do a lot of people about how we want to
spend our time contributing. I suggest you lead by example and just do
it. You don't need a rule.
Reports are wonderful. Blogs are wonderful. Giving keynote addresses
at conferences are wonderful. These things and hundreds more are
wonderful ways an ambassador can contribute. None of them are
required. We will all be happier if we can choose to contribute in
ways we enjoy and if we are not required to do things we don't enjoy.

I guess all the points that have been highlighted are valid in their own
ways. We all have different ways of fulfilling our duties as Fedora
Ambassadors. Some feel 10mins a month for report typing is justifiable
while others feel the 10mins a month could be better used. At the end of
the day, I think its now time for someone to come forth and make a
decision for the rest of the ambassadors to adhere. No silver bullet
here and every suggestion has its merits and accordingly, its own
downside.
