[Ambassadors] Active/Inactive Ambassadors

[Hernan Pachas]

Hello All,

I think that one is not due to divide to the ambassadors in two
classes of ambassadors. If we them ambassadors are it jeopardize with
Fedora, he is so that we like and not to look for a recognition or to
appear publicly. It is why I am in discord with the proposal of
Francesco.

The subject of activity or inactivity, cannot be measured by the
participation or not in the list or the IRC, many of us we have
diverse occupations like: to study, to work and in my case of sharing
just a short time that I have with the family. Nevertheless, always I
am present in local activities referring to Fedora, giving to char
them, making copies of the distribution, sending articles on the new
thing of Fedora to lists of local communities, etc. that is to say,
spreading and making know kindness Fedora. But what if I do not have
time or the facilities of my work to connect me to chat IRC, during
the working hours, that are the hour that makes the meetings by IRC
generally. I assure to them that I like to participate in the meetings
of #fedora-mktg, but the time me does not allow it.

It wanted to take advantage of this point, to comment an idea that can
serve to perhaps solve this problem of communication, so that the
serious problem is the communication, I believe that it becomes
necessary to have a person that understands many languages, to have a
fluid COMMUNICATION, in the case of Latin America of Spanish, English
for people speaks English, and so on between all the continents, so
that the ambassador but participation is productive, many of the
ambassadors we did not comment or we did not participate actively in
lists them, by this incoveniente and I believe that is a subject who
can be solved, forms to solve exist many, and I am sure that it is
possible to be solved. (I know that many will say that the English is
the standard language, but not always all we want to communicate in
another language that is not the birthday :-) )

Our problem is "COMMUNICATION" and the communication is not made
better if it becomes to a side a person or if it looks for to
compensate it, but improving the communication.

Greetings,
