Hello Ambassadors,
a way to spreading fedora to users with slow connection.
My idea is the user search a local Ambassador and send him a usb stick and
attach the postage to send the stick back.
And the Ambassador can easy create the USB stick with the liveusb-creator
:).
And a little paper with the architecture  and the gui gnome/kde.
This way is very cheap for the fedoraproject and a simple way for the
user.
Only a little idea :).
With regards,

Hey Michael,
I really like your idea :). However this can be very costly to us Unless we
can get a sponsorship from a manufacturer.

The user is to buy a USB stick, mail it to an ambassador. The
ambassador then puts fedora on the USB stick and mails it back. (As
Michael originally said)

Why do we need a manufacturer?

I could go for this idea.  It's a cheap way for someone to get Fedora.
 For about $2 we could get a Fedora USB stick to a person without
internet access.  It'd be nice to put the updates on there too as a
repository or something.

Cheers,

Clint
