[Ambassadors] Active/Inactive Ambassadors

[Francesco Ugolini]

I don't know why people continue to refer to irc meetings: does are not
our most important activity, it's only a tool to make the point of the
situation. The worst thing i see is that we are more than 150 ambassador
but only 10 or 20 are active, not only in irc meetings or mailing list,
but at the events, see the events wiki page i see only few ambassadors
there: is possible such thing? NO, absolutely no.  I know that we are
different from developers that stay all together and all work, but we
have to keep their philosophy to our project, and to make this possible,
it's necessary to create more strength rules and improve our community
structure.

REMEMBER: WE ARE A MERITOCRACY COMMUNITY, WHO WORK WILL BE PRIZED WHO
DOESN'T WILL RECEIVE ANYTHING.

So, it not correct for ambassadors that spend their free time working
for this project will not be awarded. We actually have Ambassadors
Recognition Award, and this is one type of prize, but i think we need
something more project related and "Honored Ambassador" is the best
solution I've found. Who work hard will receive the permanent status of
ambassador. I know you may misunderstand this new status but it's the
best way to convince people to work.

Francesco Ugolini
