hi everyone, ali here. Fedora rocks and theres no doubt about it, well in my community i've been taking some serious steps. we have fedora installed in almost all the computers of our department and i have requested the chairman that the same should be done for the other departments of our university. plus wer are also planning a hands-on workshop so that fedora is no longer an alien technology for the faculty and students. regards <div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, Feb 22, 2009 at 12:10 PM, <<a href="mailto:fedora-ambassadors-list-request@redhat.com">fedora-ambassadors-list-request@redhat.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> Send Fedora-ambassadors-list mailing list submissions to <a href="mailto:fedora-ambassadors-list@redhat.com">fedora-ambassadors-list@redhat.com</a> To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit <a href="https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-ambassadors-list" target="_blank">https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-ambassadors-list</a> or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to <a href="mailto:fedora-ambassadors-list-request@redhat.com">fedora-ambassadors-list-request@redhat.com</a> You can reach the person managing the list at <a href="mailto:fedora-ambassadors-list-owner@redhat.com">fedora-ambassadors-list-owner@redhat.com</a> When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of Fedora-ambassadors-list digest..."

Not that I wouldn't want to write reports or chat with fellows from a community I take pride to being member of, but I tend to spend my spare time (if any) working on getting people to love Fedora. I honestly barely have the time to read my emails, much less to reply to all of them... However, thus far, I have been able to reach thousands of university students, did a seminar on "How to use Linux (Fedora) as a reliable OS", and constantly am spreading the word around. Heck, even my IT manager asked me a couple of days ago to give him both the 32 & 64 bit Fedora DVD's: our proxy servers will soon get what's best out there to drive them: Fedora 10! And maybe our workstations will be finally fueled with the most productive OS one can lay hands on. I side by inode0 with: "...I suggest you lead by example and just do it. You don't need a rule." And I think Roy's got a point: "...At the end of the day, I think its now time for someone to come forth and make a decision for the rest of the ambassadors to adhere." Until the next reply of this interesting (and long) thread, have a nice weekend, all of you! -- Take care, Paul-Marc Bougharios, Engr <a href="http://www.paulmarc.org/" target="_blank">http://www.paulmarc.org/</a> May God Be With You -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

(thanks to being retrenched). Sometimes nowadays, I try to contribute what I can, by teaching students at Vocational Institutes and Colleges on how to use Fedora and recommending them to my friends and family and students. From my perspective, inactivity of Fedora Ambassadors should not be considered on whether Fedora Ambassadors report back or not, all of us has a different method of how we contribute to The Fedora Project. As for the concept of housekeeping. +1 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
