Hi
Hello,
I live in Lebanon, which isn't part of the US or Europe (though it is
part of EMEA for the purpose of Fedora). And I definitely don't believe
that any ambassador should resign their identity or needs to a vague
hand-waving "greater good".
What I'm trying to say (and possibly saying very poorly) is that this
kind of competition between the Fedora Ambassador regions is bad.
We
should be working together, not against each other. That's what I mean
by Fedora first, region second.
I am very aware that Fedora Ambassadors are far larger than EMEA and the
US, but it seems that this whole problem has risen because a member of
the latter distrusts the former (though this might be completely wrong).

Yes, exactly!! The point I was making is that FAmSCo can't show
favoritism (which seemed to be the original accusation).
Note that I'm
not insinuating that FAmSCo ever has shown favoritism or ever will.
You as an Ambassador will focus on your region. FAmSCo's job (at least
as I understand it) is to be a support to you as much as is possible.

All I was trying to say is that we as Fedora Ambassadors really need to
make sure that we're working together rather than fighting each other.
As for the development being focused on "Red Hat based countries", I
disagree. I'm currently working on yum-presto, a yum plugin designed to
reduce the download size of updates. Seeing as most "Red Hat based
countries" have bandwidth to spare, this isn't very useful for them.
However, for those of us with limited bandwidth, it's very helpful.
