<div>Hello.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>I will like to receive some feedback about a topic that has been runing in my head for a while already and brings the matter of "What's really needed to be a Fedora Ambassador?". Several times we repeat ourselves "we must encourage people to join our comunity" and also things like "we accept everyone, so everyone can be an Ambassador" but I consider this a lie to them and to us. Not everyone can be an ambassador, and this are some of the points I have consider to think like that:</div>
<div><br></div><div>we often receive request of applicants for the ambassadors team of users that:</div><div>1.- Have never contribute to the project</div><div>2.- Have never been at any FOSS activity</div><div>3.- Have been rejected of X communities with a not-good record</div>
<div><br></div><div>But we also have to face that, those who get the "Ambassadors title" often:</div><div>1.- Dissapear without say anything</div><div>2.- Dissapear without help our community</div><div>3.- Claim to be "Fedora workers"</div>
<div>4.- Dissapear but keep using the @<a href="http://fedoraproject.org">fedoraproject.org</a></div><div><br></div><div>So, Do we really have an obligation to accept everyone? if not... Should we keep telling people that we will accept everyone to be Ambassador if we will/won't do it? I think that the Ambassadors admission process need some rules besides the one that has (without be too excesive) to make a filter that can help us, Mentor, to provide a better guidance to those contributors that really deserve and want to be Fedora Ambassadors. So, I will write some few ideas and if you guys/girls are interested on give some feedback would be nice. (If you don't and the topic die here don't feel bad :) )</div>
<div><br></div><div>1.- Applicants must help to one of our 6 top teams [1]</div><div>2.- Applicants must help their local community, in case his/her city doesn't have a local community, she/he should try to build it.</div>
<div>3.- Applicants should at least attend to one FOSS event per year. (right now in all the country there are events, so this is not so crazy at all)</div><div>4.- Applicants should at least organize or help to organize a FOSS event.</div>
<div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Here are some ideas, as I say feel free to comment, aproove or deny the suggestions I gave :)</div><div><br></div><div>See ya.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>[1] <a href="https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Join">https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Join</a></div>
