Welcome to the North American Ambassadors page.  We're working hard to make this page our central point for all NA Ambassadors.  If you are interested in further participating in the Fedora project as an ambassador, we'd love to have you on board.
Welcome to the Fedora Ambassadors of North America (FAmNA) page.  


Currently, we're building a list of regional [[Ambassadors/NA/Regions|North American ambassadors]].  If you interested in helping us, feel free to add your name.
FAmNA is a collection of folks from the United States and Canada who share the Fedora message with others throughout North America.


We also have a [[Ambassadors/NA/WDP|Ambassador Growth Plan]] (we call it the world domination plan) with quantifiable goals.  Feel free to peruse this as well.

We are gathering names of Ambassadors in the United States and Canada for another batch order.  The shirts are slightly cheaper now that we have paid the one-time design fees to the vendor.  The shirts are $22.50 + shipping + 2% to cover PayPal fees, which should be around $40 each or two for $65 within the continental US (higher in Canada).  Please send your shipping address to pcalarco@nd.edu.  I will issue a PayPal payment invoice to your address and the shirt will be drop-shipped to you.
