I just read this blog post[0] and wondered if the person may be an ambassador.
**short version** guy calls ATT&T because of a DSL issue. The Tech Support person spoke an "Indian dialect with a distinct southern US drawl"
This is the best part:
'“Please say you are using Fedora.” I chimed in with a “Sorry, using Kubuntu.” He chuckled then said, “Some people will never learn.” We shot little jabs back and forth at each other having a bit of fun while he was doing a modem test.'
This is the kind of thing that believe it or not will get people from inside the GNU/Linux community to switch to Fedora. May not go over so well with non-free OS users but inside the community I have found that comedy is a great marketing tool.

nixternal's an upstream KDE developer, and does work in KUbuntu, too. From the bits and pieces i've talked to him, he's a cool cat.

LOL I should have been more clear :). Is the Indian fellow someone we know? If not we should all call AT&T DSL support until we find him and see if he wants to be an Ambassador.
