I don't see what is preventing them from being a Fedora Ambassador.  I
am sure there are numerous Fedora Ambassadors who might work during the
day with a different OS, but still make great Ambassadors when they
participate in local LUG events.

The part you quoted earlier:

"As an ambassador, you don't just represent yourself, you represent the
Fedora Project. When people think of you, they will think of the Fedora
Project. This means that there are some important rules to follow, and
giving the right impression is important."

is from the Fedora Ambassador Conduct page in the Wiki.  That statement
means to remember when you are in public, representing the Fedora
Project to act appropriately.  It then goes on to list specific things
to aware of - none of which would rule out someone working as a
novell/microsoft trainer from being an Ambassador in their spare time.
