tips and tricks for how to be a good one, here is your reminder for
the next class.

Hi,

The follow up:

An observation: I did not see familiar faces from the Fedora India
attend the meeting. 

I'm going to ask a question here: "Is it possible for a hundred
Ambassadors[1] to be busy at the same time?"

If they weren't busy, what were they doing? Why weren't they there?

Even *if* all of the 100 were busy simultaneously by some unimaginable
coincidence ( O_o ), Max taking out time to take a class for Ambassadors
*in person*, should have made the importance of the class very very
clear.( At least clear enough to get a few folks to reschedule and
attend the class). The session lasted only an hour and a half FYI.

- It was a great chance to meet up with Ambassadors over the world and
get to know them.
- Max talked about the *role of an Ambassador*, something that we've had
frequent discussions over.
- He made it clear on what you're supposed to say when you represent
Fedora, at conferences etc. Isn't that another point that we were
discussing?

There was a lot of other stuff that I learnt there (and I'm not a new
Ambassador). Too bad folks decided to give it a miss. Logs are never the
same as attending the meet itself IMO.

regards,
Ankur

Volunteers who join a project are those who have interest or a need to
contribute to the project, and not because it is forced onto them. One
cannot force anything on anyone for that matter. What can be done is
to motivate and create the interest, and help them along the way.

If people have joined because of any other reason, then it must be
looked into seriously.
