You used the words Coordinations and Communication: how you can do this
if you have people that don't follow the project ?

We have to shake inactive people with new rules. I know it seems a bad
thing, and in a certain view I agree, but it's the only way. Personally
I'm hurt to see people that are doing nothing, because they don't
respect people who work, and in this project we have a lot of people
that every day talk with people and promote Fedora.

If we want to close our eyes, ok, but it's not the better system. We
have to give a new chance to Ambassadors Project to improve itself.

Yes, i agree when you say that we have to enlarge our community, what we
are doing is to make this possible, improving the quality of our project
and make possible to manage, as better as we can, this one.

Personally i prefer 100 people that work than 400 that do nothing.

Regards

Francesco Ugolini
