Hi Rahul, As a user I started with Redhat 6.0 in the year 2000, presently I use both Fedora 12 and 13 (beta as of now). After having spent a lot of time over the years, in spreading the usage of Linux and advocating Free and Open Source Software (but not exactly by way of holding seminars or presentations) more by the way of innovating the application solutions and hand holding and spoon feeding the converts to LINUX, I simply state, keep the ambassadors program as it is. Keep it maintained, by listing people as inactive based on pre-defined time lines (reminder emails to renew the active status etc.) If you really want some yardstick to measure performance of an ambassador, then build some monetary / cash rewards and incentives into the program. I have not listed myself as an ambassador so far, if the rewards / incentives are good enough, I will surely list myself :) with Regards, ASHWIN _______________________________________________ india mailing list [email protected] https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/india
