Hi,
(2) Give a more prominent location to the "list of ambassadors
per
country". That page should be the most visited page in all of Fedora
Ambassadors. People who are trying to find out about Fedora should be
visiting it, and Ambassadors who are looking for other Fedora folks near
them should be visiting it.
We should have something on
fedoraproject.org that says "are you
interested in Fedora? Find a Fedora Ambassador near you to give you some
information" and you type in your location, and it spits back a list of
Ambassadors near you.
+1 I'm totally agree with that... it will be useful
(3) In order for any of (2) to be successful, we need to make sure that the
people who are listed as Ambassadors are actually paying attention to the
Ambassadors part of Fedora. If someone is not, it doesn't mean that they
are a bad person -- it just means that they don't want to have to deal with
organizing events or asking questions from newbies to the project.
I wouldn't be offended if someone removed me from the Fedora Infrastructure
group in FAS, because *I DON'T DO ANYTHING WITH FEDORA INFRASTRUCTURE*. It
doesn't mean I'm a bad person or not a Fedora contributor, it just means
that I don't participate in that part of Fedora.

HOW DO WE IDENTIFY ACTIVE AMBASSADORS?
We come up with a policy that is simple, and fair.
An active ambassador is someone who:
1) Has joined the group in FAS.
2) Reads and/or posts on fedora-ambassadors-list.
3) Has a useful, up-to-date personal page on the Fedora wiki.
Done for me :)
And does one or more of:
* Attends or organizes an event once in a release cycle.
We (Tunisian Ambassador) organize more than 3 or 4 event per year (2 Release
Party and 2 other, juste to promote)
* Maintains a blog on Planet Fedora, with about one post per month.
Done, but at Fedora Fr Planet ;)
* Participates on fedora-list or
fedoraforum.org to help people w/
questions.
We do our better to be present at all the ML and forum, specially at the
Fedora Fr community
* Indicates their willingness to mentor and guide new contributors or new
users.
Clear :)
