Eu penso que a palavra "ambassadors" para mim, significa que quando estas
pessoas, que controem, testam, traduzem como também criem código para o
projeto Fedora para sairem a um evento e contarem como é o seu trabalho no
projeto, em minha opinião, tem um efeito melhor do que marketing, pois a
atual estratégia é mais adequadas para empresas que precisam vender um
produto, vemos pelo mundo open source, distribuições como o Debian, FreeBSD
entre outros que por serem mais técnicos e focados acabam atraindo pessoas
deste perfil e no final produzindo um projeto melhor, assim conseguem
usuários bem fiéis e engajados, que reportam bugs e opiniam fortemente nas
listas de desenvolvimento com sugestões e pontos de vistas muito
interessantes, sonho com o Fedora neste perfil, não precisamos ir muito
longe olhem o excelente trabalho que o CentOS esta fazendo e não é normal
vermos pessoas vendendo os seus ideais, porém eles tem usuários enterprise
que se arriscam a não pagar por um suporte especializado, desculpa a
sinceridade,

I think the word "ambassadors" to me, are people who, testing(QA),
translating but also creating code for the Fedora project when define leave
to an event and tell how their work on the project because marketing, in my
opinion, are more suited for companies that need to sell a product, we see
the world open source distributions such as Debian, FreeBSD and others that
they are more focused on technical and end up attracting people to this
profile and in the end producing a better design, so users can very loyal
and engaged, who report bugs and opiniam heavily on the development lists
with suggestions and points of view very interesting dream with Fedora in
this profile, we need not go far to look at the excellent work that CentOS
is doing and it is not normal to see people selling their ideals, but
CentOS have a with enterprise users who risk not paying for a specialized
support, excuse sincerity,
Cheers

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,
