Francesco Ugolini, I'm with Silvio structuring the site in Portugal, but
give me your opinion: you think more important to translate the main project
Portuguese Lusitanian than start a site in Portugal?

What is our role as ambassadors?
I think that is promoting the Fedora in our country, am i wrong?
So I became ambassador to promote Fedora in Portugal.
But I believe there are ambassadors who don't think this way, at least in
Portugal.
As already announced in this list, it will start soon the site for the
project Fedora Portugal.
The other 5 Portuguese ambassadors were invited on several occasions to
participate in the website.

More than a month passed and still not got an answer.
The point is this: I live in Luxembourg and I am alone in this
adventure, *should
I start the project without any support? *

The only support I have had, has been the Brazilian ambassadors as Eunir
Augusto (which made most of the work!), Erick Gomes and Rodrigo Padula.
In Portugal Fedora is unknown, has a bad translation, has no wiki and just
does not have a community.
So we urgently need a web site with a forum and a wiki.
We need to bring together the users, and encouraging more people to
translate the Fedora.
With the help of Brazilian ambassadors, the site could start operating
next
month.
The question is: who will be there?
That is why I ask your opinion:
*it is worth starting the site even alone, without the support of another
5
Portuguese ambassadors?*

Ambassadors are people coming from different experiences that work
promoting Fedora around the world, joining events (e.g. LUG meeting, Linux
events etc...), talking with people.

Your role as ambassador it to represent Fedora in your city, in your state
and wherever you are. It's an important role.

You are disappointed because the other people don't help in the site, I
think this isn't a problem, everyone help in his own way, so if someone
prefer to work in a specific field s/he is free to do this, don't worry.

The translation and general localization is one of the most important
challanges we are facing, and I'm sure what you are doing and what many
other people are doing translating/writing contents is important. Just talk
with people and search for new contributors, I'm sure it would the best way.

Hoping to give the answer

Regards

The first goal is to talk with people around us (around you too), so I think you have to work on the way "all you" think it's the better one.

If everyone want to help provide a service you could join the forces
and try to find a compromise. Maybe create content in Portugese and then if someone want to translate them in Portugese Lusitanian (according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lusitanian_language it's considered an extincted language) he could be able to do that. I don't want to say that someone is wrong because everyone here comes with a different background and has different perspectives for this experience.

Hope to have answered your question

Best regards

Francesco Ugolini
