There are a lot of trips, talks, events, etc, but are all these
things
really helping to build new tech's into Fedora? I'm not sure.
Fedora ambassadors have several different duties. Finding new
packagers/developers to contribute to Fedora [technically] is only one of
them. Even getting more users to use Fedora is a reasonable goal that is
feasible with what we have been doing. I agree we should somehow change our
policies and strategies but we must remember that there are several other
goals. Sometimes, strategies are good but still, they do not always bring
immediate benefits. Something that must be clear, is that these events are
not providing to distributions, the necessary space they need and that they
deserve.
Last FISL, for example, I presented a workshop on how to translate Fedora
(Transifex). It happened in the Red Hat booth to Fedora contributors. It
would be awesome if FISL provided us a space to do that for lots of other
people, but unfortunately, they don't seem to want this for their event.
Maybe we should invest more money in local events such as FLISOLs, Fedora
Release Parties, Software Freedom Days and alike and less money in events
such as Latinoware and FISL.
Best regads,
