Just to clarify something here, although I agree with Maria with regards 
to the "being involved elsewhere" idea, one of the most important things 
as ambassadors is to know your stuff, with regards to the Fedora as an 
OS (how to use it) and what we stand for.

Also, I would like to point out, that if you all had read the Join 
Ambassadors Page, that there is more information there, as to what we 
expect of you as ambassadors. So many points should be covered there!

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/Join

As to the point of maybe expanding or clarifying points, I am sure that 
can be done. Just keep up the noise in the mailing list, and we will 
make amendments.


Regards,
Tristan
