Hey all, Below is a thread on Sugar ambassadors from last week. I meant to send it to iaep with a few follow on cc's. Looks like I left off iaep.

The basic idea behind the ambassadors programs is to help people such as Caryl feel like they have what they need to effectively communicate to various groups about Sugar and Sugar Labs. At some levels this is a marketing issue but at other levels, this is a community building issue. I am willing to get the program started. I would like to hand it off to someone with actual social skills as soon as possible. At the OLPCFrance day of SugarCamp, I was much more comfortable sitting upstairs with Scott Meeks and Gary Martin than talking and mingling. We can start by collecting a list of interesting events and a set of inspiring resources. From there we can organically let the natural 'ambassadors' learn what works for their local events and share those best practices with each other. Should we roll this into the marketing team for now and split off when we get to big for the marketers to handle us? Yep, that is a challenge:) david _______________________________________________ IAEP -- It's An Education Project (not a laptop project!) [email protected] http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/iaep
