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,

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,
