The Fate of Ambassador Programme
by Onyeibo Oku
Hi everyone
Perhaps this is not news anymore but it seems the relevance of the
Ambassadors Programme is in doubt. There is a Mindshare Ticket probing
for role of Fedora Ambassadors in 2019 and best use of
resources/time/energy (https://pagure.io/mindshare/issue/145)
Have you seen it? What are your thoughts? Are we jaded?
Say something ... here, there.
Perhaps I am hanging on to an old concept -- the nostalgia must have
been too strong.
Regards
Onyeibo

Ohio LinuxFest
by Ben Cotton
Hi Ambassadors,
I'm going to be attending Ohio LinuxFest[1] in Columbus, Ohio, USA on
1–2 November. Are we going to have a presence there? I planned on
submitting a Fedora BoF, but I don't want to step on anyone's toes.

Thanks,
BC

This last sentence is the one I think summarizes where we are so much. Our
experienced ambassadors aren't helping our new ambassadors grow which led
to the system collapsing. You have done some amazing events in the US and
I look forward to reading more of those tickets :)

Re: ambassadors Digest, Vol 583, Issue 1
by Jeff Fitzmaurice
@bex, thanks for setting me straight on all this. I do appreciate all that the board does. And I am new compared to everyone else. I should just continue to go with the flow for a while until I truly understand the structure and methods of the Project as a whole.
And I truly appreciate the RH people and their individual contribution to the Project.
I sure wish more experienced Ambassador folk could chime in here and let me observe and learn a bit more.

Can you show me where funding tickets for significant events was declined
when those events were good for Fedora? There is even a procedure for
large events:
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/mindshare-committee/large-events/
It even starts with, "While anyone can hold or attend a large
Fedora-related event, these events are typically done by experienced Fedora
contributors and or existing Fedora Ambassadors. "

While I've been on Mindshare, our focus has been about impact, not
dollars. If you are self-selecting away from big events because you can't
justify the budget relative to the impact, that feels right. If you're
refusing to ask for funding above an arbitrary level, that is a decision
you made, not the project.

... and the mindshare tickets show it is. RH employment isn't a factor for
this money, period. In fact, the big event ticket that is currently open
from a person who happens to be an RH employee is not approved because they
aren't providing the information we request of everyone.

First, of the 8 people listed on Mindshare, five (5) are not employed by RH
and three (3) are. This is far from an RH controlled body. This is
Fedora, we don't do that here.
Second, Mindshare was started as a way of solving hte inability of
ambassadors to approve budgets which was blocking events. Mindshare is
approving tickets. Your tickets have been approved. I really don't
understand where you are coming from here.

Can you show me where funding tickets for significant events was declined
when those events were good for Fedora? There is even a procedure for
large events:
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/mindshare-committee/large-events/
It even starts with, "While anyone can hold or attend a large
Fedora-related event, these events are typically done by experienced Fedora
contributors and or existing Fedora Ambassadors. "

While I've been on Mindshare, our focus has been about impact, not
dollars. If you are self-selecting away from big events because you can't
justify the budget relative to the impact, that feels right. If you're
refusing to ask for funding above an arbitrary level, that is a decision
you made, not the project.

... and the mindshare tickets show it is. RH employment isn't a factor for
this money, period. In fact, the big event ticket that is currently open
from a person who happens to be an RH employee is not approved because they
aren't providing the information we request of everyone.

First, of the 8 people listed on Mindshare, five (5) are not employed by RH
and three (3) are. This is far from an RH controlled body. This is
Fedora, we don't do that here.
Second, Mindshare was started as a way of solving hte inability of
ambassadors to approve budgets which was blocking events. Mindshare is
approving tickets. Your tickets have been approved. I really don't
understand where you are coming from here.

I think the ambassador program is a good one. I don't think it should be cancelled. But sometimes I feel like it it's really difficult to attend significant events. Sure we can have tiny events in our living rooms and such. But events where we mingle with others in the industry are difficult to get funding for.
I have seen past Ambassador event budgets and have been shocked as to how much was spent. Knowing that, I set out to make my event spending a bit more frugal.
However, unless one is employed by Red Hat, being an Ambassador is not a payed role but volunteer. And to get us out to key regional events costs money. This money thing should be approved with common sense, frugality of course, and curtisy. We volunteer time. We should not have to beg for swag, travel, and lodging (for events far from home).
Also, we might want to create a talking point list for all the cool things in fedora. Last year, a few things caught me off guard. I had to play catch up at events during any down time I had.
But all that, if Mindshare wants to take over everything we do for, most of them are Red Had employees. Who are we to oppose?

Hi everyone
Perhaps this is not news anymore but it seems the relevance of the
Ambassadors Programme is in doubt. There is a Mindshare Ticket probing
for role of Fedora Ambassadors in 2019 and best use of
resources/time/energy (https://pagure.io/mindshare/issue/145)
Have you seen it? What are your thoughts? Are we jaded?
Say something ... here, there.
Perhaps I am hanging on to an old concept -- the nostalgia must have
been too strong.
Regards
Onyeibo

Hey Onyeibo, thx for stepping up.
I've tried to put my input into the ticket as much as possible. I'm
currently working on a couple of small strategies to reach out to those
inactive Ambassadors and get their perspective, tho I don't have that much
free time this week.
It's part of the IT nature that some things come and go in different times,
however, this particular initiative, at least for me, represents the
highlight of what being a top contributor should be. I'll keep trying to
put my energy into the success of this Team, in hope that new and old
ambassadors reactivate.
>From my point of view, it's just a burn down of the program, and probably
this can be a great opportunity for, instead shut the program down,
reinvigorate it.
Hoping to hear from more of you.

Dear all,
Join us on irc.freenode.net in #fedora-meeting-1 for the Fedora 31
Beta Release Readiness meeting. This meeting will be held on
Thursday, 2019-09-12 at 19:00 UTC.
We will meet to make sure we are coordinated and ready for the release
of Fedora 31 Beta. Please note that this meeting will be held even if
the release is delayed at the Go/No-Go meeting on the same day two
hours earlier.
You may receive this message several times in order to open this
meeting to the teams and to raise awareness, so hopefully more team
representatives will come to this meeting. This meeting works best
when we have representatives from all of the teams.
For more information, see
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Release_Readiness_Meetings.

Join us on irc.freenode.net in #fedora-meeting-1 for the Fedora 31
Beta Release Readiness meeting. This meeting will be held on
Thursday, 2019-09-12 at 19:00 UTC.
We will meet to make sure we are coordinated and ready for the release
of Fedora 31 Beta. Please note that this meeting will be held even if
the release is delayed at the Go/No-Go meeting on the same day two
hours earlier.
You may receive this message several times in order to open this
meeting to the teams and to raise awareness, so hopefully more team
representatives will come to this meeting. This meeting works best
when we have representatives from all of the teams.
