Ambassadors places in new Working Groups

[Alexandre Moine]

Hi all,

Sorry for the double-post, but I think it's necessary.

Recently, some Working Groups has been created [1]. In the most of
case (except in the Server WG with Truong Anh. Tuan), we don't have
any representant of the ambassador group.
I exaggerate, because some developers are ambassadors (like C.
Wickert, H. Guémar...), but they are in these groups primary for their
skills in programming. I don't say "they are bad ambassadors", but I
think developper task + ambassador reprensentant task are too much for
one person.
I think it's a great idea to strengthens the links between ambassadors
and WG. The ambassador is an important link between users and
developpers, on my mind, he must be in these groups.

Hi,

Thanks for your concern on that topic, off course, fedora.next would be an
half-assed
initiative if we forget communication and community mgmt. And i'm pretty
sure that
everyone here agrees with you on that point.

As for myself, I also intend to represent "users" inside the Cloud WG, so
i'll be glad to
serve as a liaison officer with both Ambassadors and Marketing groups.
I can't speak on the behalf of cwickert, but as one of the most supportive
member of the
Ambassadors group, I'm confident that he'll do an outstanding job -as
usual- on that matter

best regards,
H.

Actually the server WG has two ambasssadors ( I myself am also 
ambassador ) as well as atleast the Workstation WG with Christoph 
Wickert but there was no rule in place how the initial selection process 
should be conducted other then it should be conducted by FESCO members*.

*Stephen decided to use "role based" selection process to form his 
initial WG, some chose to follow his process other not.

Not entirely accurate.  The WG coordinators had to select the initial
voting members from those that were nominated for the WG during the
nomination period.

We've tried to include as broad a section of volunteers as possible while
still keeping the voting groups small enough to be functional. I want to
stress as strongly as possible that participation isn't limited to initial
WG members. If there are ambassadors that are interested in working directly
with each of the WGs, that would be excellent.
