[Fedora-ambassadors-list] 3 Simple Questions

[Tejas Dinkar]

Hey, 

when I met someone at an event, who was interested in being an
Ambassadors, but wasn't sure, I asked him these 3 Simple Questions.

I finally wrote them down here

http://www.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/3SimpleQuestion

tell me what I can improve, or if I should pull the document.

This is just my opinions

Oh - and for those of you who missed this on Fedora People -

Don't let people drive you crazy when you know it's in walking distance.

Tejas,

I have a few nit-picks for your draft:

You wrote:
"You can even want to tattoo 'Fedora' on various body parts and run
around at the next football match. As long as you love spreading Free
Software, you are perfect for the job."

Running on the football fiel naked will most surely lead to the
person's being arrested--you should try to avoid any wording that
might be misinterpreted as encouraging illegal actions.

Further, you write:
"If you feel that Fedora is great for a Desktop, but isn't the best as
a Server, then go ahead and tell people that!!! Stand up and be
heard!!!!"

This would be inaccurate, and you should try to avoid making an
impression that inaccurate statements about Fedora are okay for
Ambassadors.

Otherwise it is a good document which will help others in the field
recruit new Ambassadors!

Thank you,
Alex

I think the grammar could do with a bit of work...

You've got Edit access... Nudge-nudge, wink-wink...

I think that "isn't the best as a server" is questionable because
"server" has quite a few meanings. If you meant production server I
think this is mentioned on some of the official web pages as a myth,
no?


Cheers,
Filip

well, I didn't word that perfectly, but in essence, what i was trying to
get across was that

* If you find Fedora the best in some domain such as desktop, or it is
the best for laptops, then tell people that. In essence, I was trying to
say - 'If you feel that Fedora isn't the best for some use, then WE
won't force you to promote it as that'.

For example, I advocate Fedora on the desktop, but I feel that in some
scenarios, "foo-bar linux" may be better, say as a web server,
especially if you don't have the bandwidth to download upgrades, and
want packages that have been thoroughly tested.

So when I talk to people, I don't blindly say - "use fedora, it will do
wonders for your server", as I can't honestly say it will. (IMO of
course)

That example was just my way of saying that Being A Fedora Ambassador,
doesn't mean you need to think that fedora is the greatest thing since
sliced bread.
