Good point Ruth, but there are some obstacles that have to be 
passed.

1) Well, I don't know the state in other countries, but here (talkin' about 
Italy) I collided against a wall in each the two times I tried to get in 
touch with RH. No answer and when I got an answer it was, more or 
less, "go on, then we'll see".
University, school, institutional entities etc. don't listen the proposals 
of a few  Ambassador without hooks inside (that's why I was requesting 
some help from RH).
So Ambassador volunteers have to find someone that can introduce 
them inside the institutions before doing their job.
It's a closed road for me, unless Fedora Marketing moves as a real 
entity.

2) I can do that, depending on the general coordinator, but there is at 
least an ambassador for each country able to do that? A contributor 
should be enough but is there a db with press contacts?.

At last: 3) Please do; and if you need any help let me know, I'm 
available. But mktg people use going in and out, depending on their 
job, family and anything else so I don't think there are people enough.

The first problem is to involve people into marketing so we have to 
make the group very interesting at all. And we can't do that without a 
common strategy .

About my contribution, yes you're right and I feel guilty, I said:"....but 
few of them are really involved (and this is a criticism to myself, 
because I'm doing really nothing for the team, in these days)").
