With the large number of infrastructure changes associated with Fedora 
7, we have recently started discussing the idea of reorganizing the 
mailing lists.  See 
https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-advisory-board/2007-January/msg00104.html. 
  So instead of opening up ambassadors list, I think it might be better 
to just merge ambassadors list with marketing list here and just discuss 
everything in this list instead.

The original idea of ambassadors were contact points around events all 
over the world but that has substantially changed and increased the 
scope for the better over time. We opened up archives for ambassadors 
list a while back after my prodding. I think we are ready for a merge 
back now.  Folks who want to be recognised as ambassadors can just 
follow the usual process. The rest of them marketing folks can continue 
discussing things here as usual. The advantage of this is that it gives 
us broader participation and visibility. Let me know what you guys think.
