Standard behaviour, resignation and regional leadership.
by susmit shannigrahi
Hi All,
[On behalf of FAmSCo]
Recently there has been a rash of two types of behavior on the
fedora-ambassadors-list and by Ambassadors in general that are
disturbing.
The first is not being excellent to each other. There has of late been
name calling and pejorative references to the abilities and experience
of others. This is unacceptable behavior for any Fedora Project
contributor, specially when Fedora Project has set the standard of behavior
among the community as "be excellent to each other"[1]. It's even more
appalling for this behavior to be originating with Ambassadors who are
supposed to represent Fedora's principles to the larger F/LOSS community
and to the world. We are not expected to agree with each other all the time,
as a matter of fact disagreement is often a good thing, but when we do
have disagreements, we should be mindful that our criticism should be
constructive, and not fall to the level of personal attacks. We are
all friends and working towards a common goal within Fedora.
The second is frustration rising to the point of public threats and
resignations. There have sadly been three of these in the past week.
That isn't to say that these frustrations are not real, or even disheartening.
This is only to say that explore and utilise the possible channels
before you give up. We certainly don't want to trivialize those frustrations
that block getting work done, or make us less motivated to get things
done. Sadly as we continue to draw closer to release those are likely
to increase, as many of us contribute to multiple parts of Fedora and
our time is increasingly stretched thin. We would like to ask that you
give the regional leadership and FAmSCo a chance to fix the problem.
Whenever you are having a problem, drop us a mail and we will do our best to
fix it. We don't have magical powers, and can't promise that your frustration
or problem will go away simply by telling us about it. However the
regional leadership and FAmSCo exists to enable Ambassadors to get
things done, in part by trying to remove obstacles. Please try contacting
them before you throw your hands up and quit, and preferably
approach them long before you get to the "quitting stage".

Pre Flisol Events Panama and Mini Deb Conf Panama
by alejandro perez
As you know all latam is getting ready for the FLISOL, in Panama, we
started with series of talk on Free software and local communities, on
Mar 19 at ULACIT and Mar 25 at UIP, first event was not that many
people as we have some issues with timing but we make the most of it,
the main speaker was from Costa Rica Carolina Flores and was here for
the Mini Deb Conf and give us her time to do this talk. It was one of
the best talks on Free Software. The evento on Mar 25 has over 50 people
and we have talks from local communities like Ubunto Loco Team Panama,
Open Suse, caelinux, and of cource Fedora. We also have a panamenian
company working on open source tools, talking on the importance for the
students to know this technologies and that we have some jobs spaces for
people trained and with skills on Open Source Technologies.
It was a opportunity to introduce CIDETYS to this University, CIDETYS is
a foundation develop to introduce free software and open source to the
government, they still have to much to do.
Mini Deb Conf Panama, Central America software libre community got the
idea of celebrating on Panama a Debian conference last year, after great
effort and work they meet at City of Knowledge Panama, as this was one
of the few opportunities to learn and share with the central American
FLOSS community I was part of it, we learn some stuff about Debian
community and tech stuff about Debian packing, translation, GNUPG,
Debian License, Compiling the kernel and some more stuff.
But the main thing I have learn give me back to why I'm part of Fedora,
on the talk to introduce our selft to Debian Community the speaker
Hector Colima, mention the Fedora Ambassadors program as something they
need to learn from Fedora, that the Debian Community as strong in its
tech stuff is weak on the social part, we also were glad to ear about
our own Tatica, as sample of what a community can do to share knowledge
and keep members interested.
Tatica, as always thanks for your enthusiastic and energetic work on
Fedora, now your fame grow a bit more to Debian Community.
It was also a great thing to find out that a fellow ambassador from
Salvador was part on the event
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Magjogui , thanks Jose to bring
across the border the Fedora CD's and DVD's , we already have shared to
the other cities that will hold Flisol this year. We could not do it
with out Neville help, thanks Neville.
Hope one day we can have a FuDConf here in Panama, with all of you.
This week was important to Panama Fedora Community as many people are
getting interested on be part of it. Hope we can get all them join and
work on some part of this project.

Strategical Withdraw
by Nelson Marques
I'm withdrawing from this list and from this group. After being dubbed
as a troll and ill-minded person, I believe my life is better without
this kind of stuff.
I'll be staying with Marketing Group, and I do wish all the best to all.
If there's something you might believe I can help with, please contact
me on private level and I'll for sure take a look into it.

March FreeMedia requests in North America
by inode0
We still have 10 requests in our queue that have been sitting there
for around 3 weeks now. Are there some NA ambassadors who could help
out with these before the end of the month? I'll check back at the end
of the month and clean up whatever is left, but if others can chip in
I would appreciate it much.
Thanks,
John

What caused resignment request has been solved now and mainly
concerned the stucked process on FUCCon planning. This has been
clarified on the Ambassadors list, already.
You where not involved in planning nor seem to be interested in any
form (besides stating that you are the "boss") so far. So yes, you
maybe should decide to either step back a little or to join up,

Re: [Ambassadors] ambassadors Digest, Vol 94, Issue 19
by xm4nfedoralinux .
Just for replies to this issue. I try not to assume someone is something and
speak before I THINK (e.g. lets say, if I was an ambassador.) Also spotty
research does not account for full facts. Sometimes we get in the way and
research the items that WE want and present them as if they are final
product. I think one must google first (as what was said earlier). Just
stating out facts (or more like opinions in this matter) in the previous
message does nothing more to credit. Taking it to heart about a person
showing a specific sign with the hand is just plain, in my opinion, stupid.
And doing research on that is really a waste of time, because in a more
general humanistic approach, we really dont care. And for the people who do
care, that is a SMALL and Negligible portion, and not a whole population.
The very best advice is really NOT to advise others on how to be
constructive and back up with scientific work, That is just plain ignorant
and to others it may feel like that is a "stuck up" statement, not to
mention that in normal and "everyday" conversations, it is NOT practical. Oh
by responding to this message and then potentially accusing me of trolling
will be grounds for other adverse "effects". To some people this whole
conversation looks like two guys who are "smarty pants" are battling it out.
If statements from the message I am responding to were to be said to O.G.'s
or gangsters or "ghetto" people, then who ever said it would be shot on the
spot (trust me, I've seen it happened, since I was part of a gang). Those
statements in the message I am responding to were so identical to that
person who got shot. To be simple here, putting all this research into a
simple hand gesture is really fruitless. We are everyday people. Like the
old saying goes, "DONT SWEAT THE SMALL STUFF!" I can attest to my previous
employment. This guy was the CEO of his business and he said statements just
like the ones in the message I am responding to. That shows his attitude
stinks and is stuck up. Well, to make a long story short, his business did
not make any cash flow and ran out of money to pay employees (including me).
He had to shut down business all because he was STUCK UP and WAS TOO NARROW
MINDED AND DID NOT LISTEN TO OTHERS and said the EXACT or close to exact
statements and had the exact same attitude about the statements of the
message I am responding to. He thinks he knows it all but in the end, really
sunk in a black hole. I feel sorry for him and its just sad when people like
that have to learn the hard way.
To respond to me with an equal attack will also be considered trolling too.
Hey we are all free to express opinion and facts. Its a free country.
