The official response
Fedora Ambassadors Steering Committee official response:
After collecting the results of our poll on the Ambassadors and Marketing lists, FAmSCo met today and discussed the issue of whether or not to merge the two mailing lists into one.
We reviewed the results of the poll and carefully considered the arguments we heard on each side. While the poll showed that a slight majority were in favor of the merger, we covered several points that made us feel that the merger is not the right thing to do at this time. We agreed unanimously that the lists should remain separate. We hope that this decision is understood by all of you and will be happy to answer any remaining questions on the matter.
Since we will not be merging the two lists, we will be taking other measures to make the purposes of each list perfectly clear. The Marketing list will continue as a forum for strategic discussion. It will host discussions over our global marketing strategy and marketing content. The Ambassadors list will continue to host discussions of events and grass-roots efforts to spread Fedora on the ground worldwide. The differences will be documented on our websites, and we will guide members of each list in deciding how their messages should be directed.
We hope that you will all work with us as we try to guide the usage of each list to make the best possible use of these resources. Thank you all for your input.
