Comment (by mattdm):
I'm not opposed to having this media for where it's appropriate/useful for
advancing Fedora, but I have some concerns.
First, it seems out-of-alignment with the overall Fedora marketing
strategy, where we want to advance based on our strengths in certain
areas. We want to _really_ succeed in those areas and then grow outward
from there, and I'd really like Ambassadors' efforts to be centered around
that.
I know those areas — developer desktop, easy-deploy server, cloud
computing — aren't everything to all audiences Ambassadors address, so
"there's more to Fedora!" is important too, but it'd _also_ be nice to
have Ambassadors largely focused on promoting our collective strategy.
Especially when we're spending collective money.
We don't even _have_ a "GNOME (Desktop)" spin; Fedora Workstation is based
on GNOME, but that's not the same thing. Is there a plan here to create
one, or is the idea for Fedora Workstation to stand in as "GNOME Desktop"?
I'm concerned about, as it confuses the message we're working to build
around Fedora Workstation as having its own identity.
Continuing along those lines, Fedora in general doesn't work by telling
people to do things. There have been changes in the release engineering
infrastructure, and I'm not sure that doing this is as easy as pushing a
button and waiting. Are there people interested in helping with any new
releng changes that are needed? And after media is produced, are there
plans for QA for all of these environments? Since this was dropped from
QA's radar, I'd really hate for this to go out with our name on it and
have some embarrassing flaw.
