[Ambassadors] Merging of Ambassadors and Marketing lists

[Patrick W. Barnes]

After collecting the results of our poll on the Ambassadors and Marketing 
lists, FAmSCo met today and discussed the issue of whether or not to merge 
the two mailing lists into one.

We reviewed the results of the poll and carefully considered the arguments we 
heard on each side.  While the poll showed that a slight majority were in 
favor of the merger, we covered several points that made us feel that the 
merger is not the right thing to do at this time.  We agreed unanimously that 
the lists should remain separate.  We hope that this decision is understood 
by all of you and will be happy to answer any remaining questions on the 
matter.

Since we will not be merging the two lists, we will be taking other measures 
to make the purposes of each list perfectly clear.  The Marketing list will 
continue as a forum for strategic discussion.  It will host discussions over 
our global marketing strategy and marketing content.  The Ambassadors list 
will continue to host discussions of events and grass-roots efforts to spread 
Fedora on the ground worldwide.  The differences will be documented on our 
websites, and we will guide members of each list in deciding how their 
messages should be directed.

We hope that you will all work with us as we try to guide the usage of each 
list to make the best possible use of these resources.  Thank you all for 
your input.
