Yes i was thinking that, as i saw your big red RHCE Boot Camp Banner
And if you would not be a Ambassador, you would not have heard a single
word from FAmSCo - i would leave it to other instances to deal with it.

Let me explain it different - you are a Fedora Ambassador - this a
special role when acting inside the FOSS Eco System. If you would be the
official choosed Ambassador of your Country Pakistan and should present
Pakistan as example in Europe, would you show up with a India-Banner? I
think filtering your blog post seems a good solution, but i can not say
what it legally means if you continue a Red Hat Boot Camp.

I can only repeat myself here, please as long as you act as a Fedora
Ambassador do not use copyrighted Material or violate Trademarks or make
the impression to speak for Red Hat or teach Red Hat in your Boot Camp.
Please let this be my final statement on that. If you need further help
you can contact me offlist or on irc - also any regional Mentor.

I know there is a lot ground for misunderstanding and misinterpretation
- what i say is not ment to make you mad or angry - your contribution in
being the face of Fedora to others is valuable and we thank you for that!
