Yes it is. If you have a FAMSCO representan in your local area, is more
easy to get stuff.

Exactly. i.e when u become ambassador must move to a lot of wiki pages
to understand everything....this is so burocratic. One sheet process
could be useful.

yes of course. No more Fedora Legs of Arms "a bit under the radar" ....

resources administration are management. They are not our bosses, but
they manage resources ;)

yes probably, has relationship with availability of suporters...

Yes, thats why i will promote myself from my wiki page as new FAMSCO
member. And if ive voted by other ambassadors i will work with this
list. Next FAMSCO period must make a disruption process to move to
another direction.Including more help to promote Africa rising of Fedora
and more Latinamerican participation and the modification of chairs to 7
to 20 and much more...

yes is true. Time to work so...
