https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/MembershipService/Verification https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/Count <-- why do we even need this page? Doesn't the CountryList page serve the same purpose?
We feed this pages from FAS - we just started to collect the scripts in a git repo https://admin.fedoraproject.org/accounts/group/view/gitfama but we have just started
How often are these pages currently updated? Is the process manual or automated, or a mixture of both?
right now it is a mixture
(2) Give a more prominent location to the "list of ambassadors per country". That page should be the most visited page in all of Fedora Ambassadors. People who are trying to find out about Fedora should be visiting it, and Ambassadors who are looking for other Fedora folks near them should be visiting it. We should have something on fedoraproject.org that says "are you interested in Fedora? Find a Fedora Ambassador near you to give you some information" and you type in your location, and it spits back a list of Ambassadors near you.

(3) In order for any of (2) to be successful, we need to make sure that the people who are listed as Ambassadors are actually paying attention to the Ambassadors part of Fedora. If someone is not, it doesn't mean that they are a bad person -- it just means that they don't want to have to deal with organizing events or asking questions from newbies to the project. I wouldn't be offended if someone removed me from the Fedora Infrastructure group in FAS, because *I DON'T DO ANYTHING WITH FEDORA INFRASTRUCTURE*. It doesn't mean I'm a bad person or not a Fedora contributor, it just means that I don't participate in that part of Fedora.

WHAT DO WE DO WITH INACTIVE AMBASSADORS?
If someone is inactive, we *DO NOT* kick them out of the ambassadors group in FAS, and we *DO NOT* remove them from fedora-ambassadors list.
But we should remove them from the "directory of Ambassadors sorted by country", which I argue again needs to be much more visible and useful, so that those inactive Ambassadors aren't being asked to do public-facing things.
When someone re-surfaces or has more time for Ambassadors, we put them back on the directory.
+1 good compromise
