Not on their own. Formal projects are always created by a consensus among leading contributors. If you have an idea for a new project, bring it up to leads or Steering Committee for the most relevant existing project.

Can Ambassadors create new Fedora projects (e.g. Fedora Live-CD, Fedora Light)?
Not on their own. Formal projects are always created by a consensus among leading contributors. If you have an idea for a new project, bring it up to leads or Steering Committee for the most relevant existing project. New projects will usually start out as sub-projects of one of the main projects. For example, the Fedora Ambassadors project was created under the Fedora Marketing team.
Note that you are welcome to create unofficial projects, but should not do so on the wiki. Any content on the wiki can be found by others and might be confused as official even if it is not. When creating an entirely unofficial project, make sure you follow the Trademark Guidelines and other applicable legal requirements. See the Legal section for details on existing guidelines.
Is there any help with organizing an event?
The Event Organizers' Resources page contains a lot of useful information about organizing an event. If you have any further question, write to the fedora-ambassadors-list@redhat.com mailing list. Often there are other Ambassadors in your area ask them to help you and organize the participation at the event together. This way it's more fun and less work.
Where can I request Fedora materials for an event?
Write to the mailing lists and participate in meetings to arrange presentations and other resources. See the GetStuff page to request merchandise.
Where can I get a customs letter for shipping purposes?
Regulations for many countries may limit, prohibit or apply a tax when importing or exporting software media. A standard letter may be required for the media to qualify under certain statutes. Please check with your local authorities for regulations that may affect you, and see the CustomsLetter page for our standard letter for certain customs agencies.
Where can I get a business card for identification purposes?
Are there any official clothes to wear during events?
Some Ambassadors in EMEA created the Fedora Ambassadors Polo Shirt . It's not the official uniform but it has a visual identify characteristic for visitors.
I've no time to participate the Ambassadors Project at the moment. What do you?
Just suspend yourself from the Project for a while by leaving a message at your personal wiki page to inform the visitors that you are busy right now. If you know how long your "time out" will take, send a short note to FAmSCo ( famsco-list@redhat.com ) that somebody knows what's going on.
I'm no longer active in the Ambassadors Project. Can I remove myself?
Of course you can. We respect if you have no more time to participate in the Ambassadors Project or other parts of the Fedora Project became more important for you. Before you quite, think about a suspend from the Ambassadors Project for a while by just leaving a message at your personal wiki page to inform the visitors that you are inactive. Otherwise...
- Remove yourself from the Ambassadors Group in the FAS
- Remove your entry from the CountryList and your CategoryAmbassadors+Country entry at your personal wiki page.
