FreeMedia India December List

[Siddharth Upmanyu]

Hi All...

we are looking at more then 110 requests this month (in just 4 days) in
India and there is going to be huge shortage of approving Ambassadors...
as i will be taking up around 30 requests majority of them will still be
left out...

If anyone is willing to help specially India-Ambassadors they may start
approving and update the status on the wiki...

any bright ideas are welcome to sort out this "kind-of-problem"....

Regards
Siddharth

We should also check if there are any Duplicate Requests.
I've noticed some of them are requested by a same person or same address.
Once again this is a volunteer program and we need to *clarify* that
not everyone will get their requests fulfilled.  This is a
"best-effort" service not a "grantee" service.

Sorry, I meant "guarantee" service.

Perhaps you could propose to people in the same city to meet, and have a
"Fedora copy party", explaining that's a volunteer and "B-E"
service,
and you can't support this huge request.

Perhaps it's also possible to define a limit.
For example 50 DVDs/country/month.

Sounds like a good idea.
As far as setting a limit or capacity is entirely up-to the
coordinator in their respective country program.

I just add following announcement in Fedora Free Media Program India.

'''2006-12-05 Fedora Free Media Program India reached its capacity. It
will no longer accept requests from India.'''
