I know that Pierros in the Air right now flying back from his Mozilla
Trip establishing this ReMo Initiative for Mozilla
http://pierros.papadeas.gr/?p=215 - seems we Ambassadors are upstream too ;)

I already posted my thoughts on this goal 4 for further discussions
http://kitall.blogspot.com/2011/02/ambassador-group-role-for-2011.html
i hope we all can guide FAmSCo here with more ideas.

thanks Christoph - if the process for ordering and shipping is back in
place i can handle it - but as long as there is no clear process i can´t
handle anything because it is my name under the bill - (there is no one
anymore for me to call ;) - no way that i waste my time with asking,
waiting, trouble ;) ...

But with the last Finance SIG meeting and with Max promise on the Debit
Cards there is light at the end of the tunnel - not sure if this
metapher works ;)

I have big hopes that also shipping inside Europe will be partially
solved then, because we also can pay shipping with the debit card ...

No big deal to contact our good friends at santa fe tex for getting
t-shirts, caps, umbrellas, scarfs, bags done as soon as i know where the
bill goes or if i can pay it with the Debit Card.


Thanks for the great meeting!!!

lg Joerg

I am indeed flying between airports right now. And "YES" Ambassadors
are "upstream".
In Mozilla we are right now establishing a group codenamed ReMo
(Representatives Mozilla) which resembles a lot the Fedora Ambassadors
Program.
Hopefully you guys can give your feedback on that and why not join us :)

It works, but I think this is not the case.
Credit Cards will be given to Ambassadors around the world and will
facilitate operations of Ambassadors Group (overseen by Famsco) around
the world.
Now the Finance SIG will manage budget outside Famsco and make use the
the situation of the credits cards when needed.

Indeed, it will be much easier

Please do so Joerg :) (most certainly will be payed by your credits cards)


Thanks all once again for this great meeting and my sincere apologies
for not joining you!
