who specialize also in something they prefer: Development, Design, Documentation, Infrastructure, Testing, Marketing,<br>
Release, etc. I expect superambassadors are keen to share their knowledge and experiences via presentations and<br>discussions in meet-ups.<br></pre>I am not sure what this suggestion means. Does it mean making a higher "level" of ambassador membership? Taking this back to front, don't ambassadors already "share their knowledge and experience via presentations and discussions in meet-ups"? My understanding is that many Ambassadors wear several hats in the Fedora Project (no pun intended -- no, really) -- and while we all contribute to the Ambassador program at our own level, it's expected thatt $AMBASSADOR_A who knows x, y, z is already imparting that knowledge at presentations, etc., s/he is doing.<br>
</blockquote><div><br>I was not proposing an extra level of ambassador membership. I was talking about the ambassadors who joined the Ambassadors group without much Fedora/Linux backgrounds. We see many Fedora contributors become ambassadors, and I also want to see if we could help those who started from the opposite way (Join as ambassadors -> contributors in another team).<br>
<br>There are people who likes FOSS/Fedora and wants to promote it, as users.<br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">
<br>In other words, the multifunction aspect here is already in place and should be a part of an individual Ambassador's toolkit when s/he advocates for FOSS in general and Fedora in particular.<br><br>Again, if this is a suggestion to make a different, possibly higher, tier of ambassador, I am completely against it.<br>
</blockquote><div><br>No. I am also completely against it. No way for more tiers of ambassador from here.<br> </div></div>k<br clear="all"><br>-- <br>Regards <big>☺</big> Caius 'kaio' Chance<br>Fedora Project Contributor - <a href="http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Kaio" target="_blank">http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Kaio</a><br>
