All,
This topic of member inactivity came up about six months ago or so.
I am not a very vocal member within the meetings and discussions, however, I very actively
promote and answer questions from people within my industry regarding Fedora. I greatly
benefit from being able to just listen to the discussions the ambassadors have. I am very
often on travel and don't have many opportunities to post to the discussions or
partake in the meetings. However, I am a huge supporter of Fedora and have gotten many
people to try it in my line of work.
Because of this, my vote is to not send members into inactive status or disable their
accounts if they don't frequently participate in the discussions. There are many of
us "silent" members who are very active out in our day to day careers.
Please consider this when the group comes to a decision later this month.
Thank you!
Casey

Subject: [Ambassadors] Active/Inactive Ambassadors
I know that it isn't an happy discussion but it's necessary
to solve
this BIG problem: Many ambassadors are inactive both in real world and
virtually (M-L, weekly meetings etc...).
I think we have to find a solution and my proposal is this one:
- After a year of inactivity an Ambassador will be marked Inactive (in
both personal and global ambassadors pages).
- If he will do anything for six month after he will be marked inactive
he/she will be deleted from AccountSystem and Ambassadors Mailing List.
At the moment of the subscription an advice will alert new member of
this condition.
The Ambassador that server for two years (or virtually and really (both
are required) the Project will be nominated to be Honored Ambassadors.
Naturally only the members chose by FAmSCo will receive this status.
- Every year FAmSCo will nominate no more than 7 Honored Ambassadors
from community and 3 from RedHat employers that will feed the requirement.
- The difference with the normal Ambassador is that Honored Ambassadors
will be permanent ambassadors.
This is my proposal, now we have to discuss about this one.
Regards
Francesco Ugolini
