General Events Stuff

1. we all need to remember that two months befre a show is already too
late to participate in most shows.

2. If transportation/accommodation expenses prevent Ambassadors from
going to an event, Fedora will try to help with what little money we
got. Do not expect to have all expenses covered, but we will try our
best not to let you go bancrupt over an event :)


Ambassadors Steering Committee

As the Ambassadors' numbers grow, we need a few (very likely 7) people
to step up and help lead the group--and we will call them "Steering
Committee."

The Committee will decide on things such as which events receive
higher priority (in case of limited funds and materials available),
will help set the guidelines for Ambassadors, will take care of
meeting preparation, agenda, an protocol, and stuff like that. In
general, SC will be the organ which will help us all function better
and let us have a backup for Alex :)

The members of the committee do not need to be affilliated with Red
Hat or any other Fedora project. They need to be experienced enough to
know what Fedora is and does, and what Ambassadors are supposed to be
doing.

Ambassadors program is a meritocracy, so the ones who have shown that
they are actively doing the right thing will be best candidates.

Everybody please think whether you have the time and resources
necessary to be a member of the SC, and if you do, step up!

If you wish to be on the committee, or if you wish to propose someone
else, write a message to the list. We will be selecting committee
members during the next meeting.
