After having spent a lot of time over the years, in spreading the usage
of Linux and advocating Free and Open Source Software (but not exactly
by way of holding seminars or presentations) more by the way of
innovating the application solutions and hand holding and spoon feeding
the converts to LINUX, I simply state, keep the ambassadors program as
it is.
Keep it maintained, by listing people as inactive based on pre-defined
time lines (reminder emails to renew the active status etc.)
What is the point of maintaining inactive ambassadors in the list? It
is a different thing to keep ambassadors who were active once and are
not as involved now, and a completely different thing for those who
sign up as ambassadors and just don't do anything about it.
If you really want some yardstick to measure performance of an
ambassador, then build some monetary / cash rewards and incentives into
the program.
Why? How would cash rewards serve as a yardstick? If you mean cash
rewards as a means of encouraging volunteers then you're completely
missing the point -- it is called "volunteering" for a reason.
