I am not saying I want everyone to participate in the freemedia program. However, I (and a few more of us) had until recently assumed that any ambassador would by default be a local contact. How are you an ambassador if someone in your area cannot obtain fedora from you? With 4-5 of us signing up for the local contacts program, this understanding has changed.
I think that Freemedia is a wonderful program. I see Freemedia as Fedora Project Infrastructure giving the opportunity to people around the globe to act locally and hopefully creating bounds.
I will love that every ambassador sing up for Freemedia. Even better if every single fedora collaborator sing up for Freemedia. Yes, I am a fan of Freemedia. But, it is important to stress that Freemedia does not requiere to be member of any other team. The same happens with ambassadors. I believe that any ambassadors will give away a media, but it is not part of their duties. We expect ambassadors to collaborate time, not medias.
The frase that I always repeat with Freemedia is: "Freemedia is a voluntary program, please do not spend more than you can afford"
