Hi People,<br><br>I am an ambassador from Bangladesh and can be defined as an inactive ambassador as I have seen in the mailing list.<br>Let me add some food to your thoughts.<br><br>1. I love GNU/Linux. Have been using it for last 6 years. Last 3/4 years more dedicated. Started with Red Hat 8 and since then used SuSE, mandrake, Ubuntu along with Redhat/Fedora.
<br>Brief usage pattern:<br>I have 1 desktop/server + 1 laptop running FC6 and another with Win 2000 + Ubuntu dual boot.<br>- Now, I am a dedicated user for sure.<br><br>2. Before even joining the list I always voiced to people to use Linux. Showed them how can it benefits (Security/no virus) and how cool it is;). Free does not work here as in BD you can have all pirated software abandoned. I you buy one, you may be seen as fool.
<br>But whatever it is I have successfully converted quite a few people with my small strength and will continue to do so.<br><br>3. When I saw the Ambassador thing, I thought how cool it is, I can be one and went through all the steps.
<br><br>4. But I never been in IRC meeting (my ISP blocks the IRC ports for security reason !!!!!).<br><br>5. Always go through the mailing list and read the mails, see whats going around.<br><br>6. I am kind of a shy guy, so making a presentation or something like that panics me.
<br><br>I am still not sure from all the dicussions (I have read the old long discussion which sent few weeks ago) whether its a bad thing to be inactive (I mean the way ACTIVE is defined). Do I bring any harm or problem. I am sorry being not that much active.
<br>Hope I made some sense here and thanks for reading my mail.<br><br>Cheers,<br>Imtiaz<br><br><br>
