I'm pretty young in the Fedora community. I first used Fedora when it

to the misery, unlike other distros I found that it was pretty slow.
(I was using Mandrake 8.2 then) I got partially cut off from the linux
world soon (not being from a CS background) and have been just
recently re-started my journey with FEL 12 and Ubuntu 9.04 and
embedded flavors of Llinux. I decided to contribute to OSS and started
looking for ways. I am presenting my unbiased views when I say that
the only thing that attracted me to fedora was the organization, the
clear cut demarcations and the streamlined procedures to be a
contributor. There is a process involved and things are better of the
process remains intact. I had applied for Ambassadors quite sometime
back but there's no hurry. I'm myself being off-on-off-on for sometime
(as things are beyond your control in campus - exams, dissertations
etc.) but it gives you time to judge yourself, whether you are fit.
You can't help anyone in anyway becoming an Ambassador if you are
inactive most of the time.
Thanks for your feedback. Come up to #fedora-india when you get time
and say hi. My nick is mether and I can help you get started when you
find sometime.
