I guess all the points that have been highlighted are valid in their own
ways. We all have different ways of fulfilling our duties as Fedora
Ambassadors. Some feel 10mins a month for report typing is justifiable
while others feel the 10mins a month could be better used. At the end of
the day, I think its now time for someone to come forth and make a
decision for the rest of the ambassadors to adhere. No silver bullet
here and every suggestion has its merits and accordingly, its own
downside.
