[Ambassadors] Fedora store

[Jukka Palander]

OK, I did not know about the store in Germany. That might be the place if:

1) it would be multilingual, not just German (at least these are
required in Europe to be successful:

English, Spanish, French, Italian...

..and it would be an advantage to have:

Dutch, Portugese, Greek, Swedish (Norwegian/Danish), Finnish, Estonian,
Polish....)


2) it allow people to see the products before registering in!!!!

Sorry, but for me it will never ever succeed if it requires an user
account before you even see the products available!

>>> One of the challenges in having a store is that the Fedora Project cannot accept money. Everything will be offered at cost, which is also a win for the people buying it. We will be piggybacking on Red Hat's Cool Stuff Store, so the infrastructure costs of that are already covered.
