I've just created a survey to collect information from ambassadors regarding RH certifications and Fedora Training.
We are Ambassadors because we are already knowledged - right!?
And while i agree that continuously improvement is necessary and should also have a place in our Group, i do not think the Ambassadors Group is the place where people should apply to learn the basics on Linux-Administration or get RH-Discounts for RH-Certification or that we should focus to teach ourselves/Ambasssadors in classrooms - "this cooking in our own soup"(odd germany saying). As Ambassadors we are able to keep up and understand our geeky-non-people-person-friends and we create new knowledge from their research - not consume it!
Classrooms are great for mentorees or potential candidates from all the other groups in Fedora. But this would require that we make our job as liasons to other groups better and announce not only on the Ambassadors List but also on the channels where potential valuable future contributors hang around, who really need that teaching to become a contibutor in a group other than Ambassadors!
We are professional in doing events like no others - but this is not enough - we already worked that out several times! We have so much energy in our group but honestly, i think it is a misguided introversive energy which i wanted to see invested in a dozen times brought up topics - ask yourself what have we achieved if we look at our Ambassadors Group Goal 2011 that the last FAmSCo picked up?
