Re: [Ambassadors] Let me introduce myself
Hi
Of course.
Thanks
One of the best ways to be a ambassador for a project is to have a
high
level overview of the history (important milestones atleast) and changes
happening within the project. This includes new features in upcoming
releases, governance, issues the community is facing, plans to address those
issues etc. Read the relevant lists or atleast the announcements lists and
the weekly news reports.
While you don't necessarily need to have a keen understanding of every
single aspect of the community, having a general idea is important. Being
aware of the general steps involved in joining a sub project or at least
being aware of the sub project leaders can be quite useful. It is easier to
mentor someone else if you are actively doing it yourself.
Most importantly, ask questions. If you are comfortable asking it here,
that would be just fine. We usually have folks hanging around in
#fedora-mktg and #fedora-india IRC channels in freenode for casual
conversations too.
Thanks a lot for the information and i have started talking to the
company regarding the mirror setup. They were quite curious to know
the benefits they would get in setting up a mirror (public/private) .
Some sort of advertisements for the company somewhere in the website
and a name mention in the web site ?
I would keep you posted on this front .
Cheers,
Balaji
