I have to confess ignorance. It is the live media team going to be the 
work station team? Or it is up to work station team to choose what 
desktop to ship and maybe live media team has to change to gnome spin 
team? Splitting  may impact in the number of people available for doing 
things. Live media is what we give to people not knowing what "flavor" 
to pick. It seem logical to me that now that "flavor" will be work 
station.

I feel that there is the need to bring ambassadors up to speed in what 
will be the new message. A lot of material is approved and done 
regionally. Ambassadors do the leg work, and they need to know what is 
this new thing. They need to know how to answer questions like: What is 
this new "flavor"? Why did you changed the "last season" "flavor"?

So, ambassadors need to get involved and do their part-way to meet 
marketing? Or it is marketing team need to do they part-way to meet 
ambassadors?

I comment this because so long time ago, ambassadors "have to" be in 
marketing list. Now, in the joining process for ambassadors is like 
"look to those list to see if one catch your attention". Among a bunch 
of lists it is marketing list. Most likely an ambassador work in other 
things on the project, but those things may not be related to 
fedora.next.

To sum up, how do we overcome gaps: production - marketing - sales (so 
to speak).

Just thinking out loud. Not sure if this makes sense anyway.
