[Ambassadors] A couple of questions.
Hello! I'm a longtime subscriber of this mailing list. My name is
Bryan and I am an Ubuntu developer and contributor. At the Atlanta
Linux Fest last year, I met some Fedora and SuSe ambassadors and told
them of my plan of building a Linux computer store based around my
experiences with different Linux distributions. As of last October,
this has become a reality. I offer the latest official Fedora,
Ubuntu, and SuSe cds and dvds in my store for free. I also keep up-to-
date Linux magazines that I hand out, and also many beginner's manuals
and such. Also, while the store is noob-friendly, we obviously love
to cater to advanced users, and non-Linux users. I have done a lot of
work for and with the Ubuntu community, and to some degree the Linux
community. I got started with Fedora, and I would love to become an
ambassador. I completely understand the process of becoming an
ambassador, so around 6 months ago or so I attempted to start the
process by getting a mentor. I was very upset in that I found it
impossible to find one. I could understand that if I was new and
excited about Linux I might be underqualified and trying to get
involved in everything before understanding the work involved, and
therefore no mentors would want to mentor me, however I feel I have
made a clear contribution to both Ubuntu and Fedora among others, and
have for over a year. I'm not saying, either, that I would make the
cut and become an ambassador, but I wish it was easier to find a
mentor so I could start the process. With all of this being said, I
can sum it up in one request:
I would like to become an ambassador for the Fedora linux
distribution. If anyone would be willing to mentor me, I would very
much appreciate it. :-)
Thanks, guys, for everything that you do.
Bryan
