It is sad, I had one Ambassador accept my challenge of setting a goal to
acquire
new users. Instead you chose to spend a good bit of wasted time on who is
active/inactive. I agree with Greg's philosophy stated intelligently here. The
goal at the end of the day is to have one more Linux user, anything else is a
waste of resources and peoples time.
I left the Ambassadors over issues like this, but when you get so far off track
I can not set idly by and watch you drive the bus off a cliff. Why do you
continue to replay the same wasted efforts. We had a similar debate when I was
on FAMSCO last year. If you don't know your history you are doomed to repeat
it.
By the way we thought it was a bad idea then and it still is.
Kushal I gave out 25 dvds today; I'll let you know if we get any new users.
19 new users to date.

Just because you don't see the work happening doesn't mean that it isn't
happening.
I, personally, am a BIG FAN of allowing people to do whatever they can,
whenever they can. I am also a BIG FAN of allowing *anybody who wants
to* to be ambassadors -- or even (gasp) to *call* themselves ambassadors,
even if they don't always do very much.
I will therefore fight anyone who tries to assert that "I am an
ambassador, but you are not." I'll fight it pretty damned hard, in fact.

Now. That said, I welcome the idea that some ambassadors *clearly* spend
more of their time and effort to "make things happen". Thomas Chung is
clearly the gold standard here, and he has been rewarded as such.
Ambassadors, your efforts to recognize one another are laudable and
correct.
Be sure that you are recognizing individuals for their success, and not
"penalizing" people for "not doing enough work."
