Rahul,
I more or less agree with you on this point. But you see, we need to
be consistent with this thought. The eligibility for being an
ambassador then has to be defined properly. If it is still about
answering those three questions (
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/3_simple_questions ), I dont think
Romit made any mistake for wanting to become an Ambassador. We just
can't say that we have added a new clause of our own on the fly
because there are so many people willing to become ambassador for
fedora project in India.
There are no new clauses. Throughout the project, mentors sponsors
someone else based on their comfort level. With something like
packaging, there is a defined set of packaging guidelines and review
requests which can be used to evaluate a person's skill set. Becoming
an ambassador however is not a technical process. I would like to know
someone, talk to them a bit before sponsoring them. Our criteria is
based on trust rather than the sheer number of people applying. If
you would like to discuss this more, come up to #fedora-india IRC
channel. My nick is mether and I would be happy to clarify any
questions/concerns you might have.
