Just a quick announcement that beginning in February the North American Ambassadors will return to having weekly meetings again at the usual time and place (9:00pm Eastern on Tuesday evenings in #fedora-meeting on freenode).
A group of us decided to go back to weekly meetings during discussions at FUDCon Blacksburg. We hope that this will make it easier for new ambassadors to become involved in our efforts, will help those already involved be more engaged and stay on top of things that need attention (like upcoming events that need some help getting in shape), and will give us an opportunity to have time to drive some new initiatives as well as tend to routine business.
In addition to this change in meeting frequency we will have a new trac instance for North American Ambassadors to use in a variety of ways including adding items to the next meeting agenda, raising new issues to be addressed, and tracking progress of tasks being worked on. More on this when it is ready to go later this week but for now I would like to thank Nick for all his help getting this started.
Come join us on February 7 for our resumption of weekly meetings!

John! That is such good news! I was feeling terrible about missing the IRC during the day, because company security blocks all IRC.
So, now I can jump on at night and finally participate! wicked stoked! :-)

Just wanted to add a link now to the new Trac instance we will be using for non-sensitive public tracking of FAmNA business. To add things to the agenda for this coming Tuesday please open a ticket and set its milestone to meeting to get it added to the agenda. Unless I fail I intend to send out meeting reminders on Monday evenings so you will want to add agenda items before then each week to have them included in the meeting reminder (which will include links to agenda tickets).
