Well, I'll put in my opinion on this issue. It might be true that many
FAs are not actively engaged in spreading Fedora, but I feel they can
help out in other activities like package management, development,
etc. I am doing my bit by helping out friends and neighbours choose
Fedora. I'm also working on some events in colleges around Chennai.
And if I can be of any use in development or package management, I
will gladly contribute my weekends. Being a final year student my
hands are full with academic projects, but I still find time for my
passion, Fedora.

But that is my point,
you are still interested in Fedora.

Do you ignore email from people asking about Fedora?

When someone asks about Fedora,
do you show\tell them your PC,
running Distro X,Y,Z. and not Fedora

I think this problem is a classic example for people in my country.
I live in Ghana
where the internet speeds aren't so fast. So you may find
Fedora
activist using Ubuntu just because there's a repository in my country that
fastens
the update process. To them it's just a means to an end.

How can you show Fedora, if using Ubuntu.
You have to be an Ambassador by example.
Also as an Ambassador,
maybe along with other Ghana Users
can you write to this mirror,
and ask them will you host fedora?

Well I personally use Fedora myself, but was stating the reasons some with
low
speeds state when I give them the alternative.
On a much grander scale, I'm making plans to host a public mirror in my
country to serve
the sub-region should be online in a few months.
Can you believe the whole of West-Africa has no public mirrors?
*Check the Fedora mirror map listings*
Its a bigger issue than you may think.

This is good, you will be a benefit to more than just Ghana.
But don't forget about the deltas\presto.
But that you need to talk to those that know.

I checked after your first message :)

Yes, me too. In my region there are not many local events, so i decided
to help some friends and the neighborshood. I'd love to do this kind of
work helping out other users.
To visit more events means to travel across Germany and this costs a lot
of money, so i can't be attend on every events here. :-(
Thats why i'm visiting no events.
It would be nice, to have more local events to attend on it.
Best regards
