[Ambassadors] Active/Inactive Ambassadors

[Francesco Ugolini]

Sorry, but what I'm doing here? Am i joking? Or what?

Ok, i know I'm not a perfect manager but i want to remember what Thomas
is doing for this project: hi is managing all the request made by
Ambassadors, he is improving the communications trough Fedora News, and
giving new ideas for the project.

For the rest, people are working hard in the FAmSCo list and in the real
world. Took the example of Rodrigo that is managing one of the biggest
community (Latin America) and working to make the Ambassadors goals
possible.

So, we can't be everywhere and we can't accomplish all the requests but
we are trying to make our better, but we need the help of the community.

Regards

Francesco Ugolini
