[Ambassadors] NA Ambassadors Meeting 2008-07-30 Meeting Summary

[David Nalley]

Greg DeKoenigsberg led the meeting - around 20 participants showed up.

We initially discussed action items from last week:

*Contacting NA Ambassadors - report from Clint Savage, John Rose and
David Nalley that this was still much in progress.
*Toolkit and Eventbox - Much discussion ensued and resulted in
definition of the terms EventBox and Event Kit as follows:
EventBox = persistent.  Banners plus "other stuff" that needs to go to
every event.
EventKit = more of something *every* ambassador will just have on hand
and can order as needed
In addition Clint Savage and David Nalley were tasked with defining
what was contained in each by  next meeting.
Further Clint Savage was tasked with defining how shipping an EventBox
would work and be tracked so as to keep it accountable.
*Outsourcing CDs - Jeffrey Tadlock was absent but reported via email
that the idea was still being considered by FAmSCo.
*Presence of Ambassadors on Fedora Forums. - Discussion centered
around purpose (ie Ambassadors aren't responsible to provide tech
support, but are to point to resources and act as the public face of
Fedora on the forums. It was suggested that this was an ideal way for
those who aren't near/can't attend conferences to get involved with
the Ambassadors.)  Out of this discussion came the necessity for
defining "Musts", "Shoulds" and "Coulds" for NA Ambassadors and was
tasked to David Nalley.
*Fedora Ambassadors Day - Jeffrey Tadlock wasn't present to propose
FAD at OLF, but discussion ensued about when and where and if to
regionalize. In the end we decided to wait for public announcement by
Jeffrey Tadlock and evaluate at that point.
*Events - To keep us from getting weighed down with event content we
decided to push events to the first meeting of each month and to table
further event discussions til next week. It was noted that we needed
to add any events to the schedule for budgeting. Discussion ensued
about how firm such events must be given that several would like to
host F10 release parties but didn't have details as of yet. Consensus
was to add release parties if committed to holding them with as much
detail as possible and update as needed.
Following the above 1.5+ hours of discussion the meeting quietly concluded.
