That's a good way to contribute. The Ambassadors programme is currently undergoing some restructuring, so the sponsorship process etc. is not really active there. > I can't edit my wiki page since it says "cla+1" and can't even login > and was told to join Fedora join SIG on #fedora-india. Yes---unfortunately we got far too much spam on the wiki and had to resort to this to keep it in check. Ah, what they meant in #fedora-india was to get in touch with the Join SIG, not join it. The Join SIG is working on a new process for newcomers. It'll be up in a week or two. You can read about it here: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/[email protected]/thread/V6HDQZGM5YUCJDYIRCMJKT4TLKRE3ZVA/ If you can please subscribe to the mailing list also and introduce yourself there, we can help you get started with whatever you'd like to do in Fedora. Before I finish, a few points to note: - You do not need to be in any FAS groups to be able to speak about Fedora or Free/Open Source philosophy. You don't need to be an Ambassador either. - Next, Ambassadors specifically are seasoned contributors who have worked in different parts of Fedora and know enough to be able to go and speak about Fedora---not just spread the word about the OS but actually speak about what is going on *inside* Fedora: what is new, what processes are changing, what new software are we looking at, and so on. So, before applying to be an Ambassador, we strongly suggest that people work in the community for a bit to learn what is going on. So, what I would suggest is that you subscribe to a few mailing lists (the Join SIG mailing list first if you're unsure of which ones to join), see what is going on, talk to people and get to know the community first. There's plenty of time to go attend events and spread the word. :) -- Thanks, Regards, Ankur Sinha "FranciscoD" (He / Him / His) | https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Ankursinha Time zone: Europe/London
