> When you put your Ambassadors hat on (as opposed to any of your other roles
> in Fedora), remember:
>
> (1) You give a face and a name to Fedora.  You are a person, friendly and
> approachable.  Fedora is big and scary, but you are going to help make sure
> that *one person* finds their way through all the confusion into the place
> where they can contribute.
>
> (2) You are the glue.  You help connect different people in different parts
> of the Project, because you are always dealing with people whose interests
> are different.  You should be eager and happy to work with other parts of
> Fedora to solve problems.
>
> (3) People are the key.  Everything that we do -- events, budgets, swag,
> membership verifications, blogging -- it's all done as an attempt to make
> personal connections with folks who either want to use or contribute to
> Fedora.  Places where Ambassadors get together are one of the few times that
> Fedora contributors have an opportunity to meet face to face (other than
> FUDCons and FADs).
>
> (4) You are the expert in your region.  You understand the culture, the
> needs, and the best ways to communicate about Fedora and FOSS in your
> region.  FAmSCo and other "leaders" in Fedora *work for you*, and need to
> listen to what you are saying makes sense.  We can't ignore the global
> picture, but we need to be flexible in adapting to local needs.

> These are things I have been thinking about while reading ambassadors-list
