[Ambassadors] About Fedora Forum

[Randika Rathugama]

@ Jon Stanley

Hi Jon,
I'm not saying fedoraforum.org is not capable of or not serving to the
fedora project. It's a good addition for the project.
But don't you feel like we are a community with out a an official forum ?

with my understandings a Forum is the best communication platform for an
Open source project.

As you mentioned we may need more hardware resources for the forum. I'm
totally agree with this.

But I do not agree with the "Volunteers" that we require for run a forum.
Fedora Project is a not a community without experts or volunteers.

Think about the number of people who starts using fedora, from the
installation process itself they need some help most of the times. while
they google for solutions if they can't find out a forum from the official
fedora project, to ask their questions, it seems like a problem for me.
anyway its my personal opinion. let's wait for others too.

Thanks
