The Organization is great - thanks Sandro(Red)!
I was excited, because i had the honor to start the today´s session with my Presentation about - Ambassador Membership, Mentoring, Measurabilty. You can download it at http://jsimon.fedorapeople.org/fad08.pdf
Interessting points were made, as example - "it seems helpful to collect the reason why someone join the Fedoraproject"!
After that, we discussed a lot about Ambassador Roles and Duties and Max showed us how Fedora Contributors evolve !

My FAmSCo Candidates

Hi Ambassadors,

there are so many busy Ambassadors who have the pontential to improve the performance of the Ambassador Group. I know, i will nominate more people then seats in FAmSCo, but there are many more, who deserves to become elected.

I nominate
Clint Savage
David Nalley
Pascal Calarco
Jeffrey Tadlock
for FAmSCo, because, from my perspective, this are North Americas Ambassadors who have worked hard to give this region new drive, structure and unity.

For his great performance as FAmSCo Vice-Chair, his perfect work on all our common events, his support in the Ambassador Administrator Team and many more, i nominate Fabian Affolter and would be happy to see him as the new FAmSCo Chair.

Francesco Crippa was a great help in the past year, he was constantly present where help was needed, he sponsored a lot MarketingMaterial and a lot time from people at byte-code - so i nominate him as well!

I know the Indian Team (112 Ambassadors) is thinking about "the right" Candidate ;) and i am sure it is one of the four candidates i have in my mind - this candidate will have all my support!
I am sure i have forgotten someone important, Max and Red are both already listed and they will have my vote!

Get a Ambassador Polo Shirt!

Dear EMEA Ambassadors,

Because there are many Ambassadors who want Fedora Ambassador polo shirts, but who cannot attend the events where we distribute them, we have decided to appoint individual country leaders as the distribution points for the shirts.

The Fedora French and Polish community is a good example - it is easiest to ship all the polo shirts to one Ambassador in France or Poland, and let him distribute them at local events. This saves a lot of money on cross-border shipping costs also.

For this to work, it is necessary that you organize yourself a bit inside your country, to declare one Ambassador of each country as responsible. This Ambassador is in charge for collecting the money and shipping the Poloshirts inside his country and for providing the money and a shipping address to us. The Money Transfer will processed over the Fedora EMEA e.V. The WikiPage is prepared - what do you all think?
