[Ambassadors] Very disappointed - What's our role as ambassadors?

[Neo Reeves]

Silvio,

I am one of the Ambassador for Maldives. And if you need any help from me
let me know. I'll be there, but remember I don't speak or write Portugal.

Just shoot when you need me. I really appreciate people like you.

>> What is our role as ambassadors?
>> I think that is promoting the Fedora in our country, am i wrong?
>> So I became ambassador to promote Fedora in Portugal.
>> But I believe there are ambassadors who don't think this way, at least in
>> Portugal.
>> As already announced in this list, it will start soon the site for the

>> The other 5 Portuguese ambassadors were invited on several occasions to

> Normally in our regions....really normally...

>>
>> More than a month passed and still not got an answer.
>> The point is this: I live in Luxembourg and I am alone in this adventure,
>> *should I start the project without any support? *

>> The only support I have had, has been the Brazilian ambassadors as Eunir

>>
>> In Portugal Fedora is unknown, has a bad translation, has no wiki and just
>> does not have a community.
>> So we urgently need a web site with a forum and a wiki.

>> We need to bring together the users, and encouraging more people to

>> With the help of Brazilian ambassadors, the site could start operating
>> next month.
>> The question is: who will be there?
