The Fedora French community is a good example -- it is easiest to ship all the polo shirts for the French community to one Ambassador in France, 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? <a href="https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/PoloShirt" target="_blank">https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/PoloShirt</a> -- Joerg (kital) Simon <a href="mailto:jsimon@fedoraproject.org">jsimon@fedoraproject.org</a> <a href="http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/JoergSimon" target="_blank">http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/JoergSimon</a> <a href="http://kitall.blogspot.com" target="_blank">http://kitall.blogspot.com</a> Key Fingerprint: 3691 0989 2DCA 58A2 8D1F 2CAC C823 558E 5B5B 5688 -- Fedora-ambassadors-list mailing list <a href="mailto:Fedora-ambassadors-list@redhat.com">Fedora-ambassadors-list@redhat.com</a> <a href="https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-ambassadors-list" target="_blank">https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-ambassadors-list</a> </blockquote></div> We've already done something like this for Poland over a year ago and it worked well except the fact I still haven't received part of my money frome some people I used to trust. Happily it wasn't that big amount so I was able to cover it by myself. And well, I find it as a good idea to create such a "general pattern" for distributing the poloshirts inside particular countries. But AFAIR there was a discussion on creating something like "local leaders" for every country some time ago... and my guess it'd be quite strongly connected with such a "local leader" role, couldn't it?
