As Ambassador you give a face and a name to Fedora. You are a person, friendly and approachable. Fedora is big and scary, but you are going to help make sure that *one person* finds their way through all the confusion into the place where they can contribute. You are the glue. You help connect different people in different parts of the Project, because you are always dealing with people whose interests are different.

* After 2 weeks the script will run a second time and produce the list of FAS nicks which will be removed from the Ambassadors group.
'''Note:''' These kind of removals will be tracked by specific tickets, in order to give ambassadors the opportunity to come back and start contributing again. In that case the ex-ambassadors will receive a short mentoring to update their knowledge of the Fedora Project.

Please always follow our code of conduct:

Here are a few good places to start exploring our wiki:

Each region of the world has Ambassador meetings on IRC. Please join your region's meeting, and look at past meeting minutes to get an idea of what is happening.

Consider joining a Fedora event near you!

Find the other Fedora Ambassadors on Freenode IRC (chat.freenode.net) in channels #fedora-ambassadors and #fedora-mktg.
