Fedora Ambassador Day North America held

Fedora Ambassador Day North America, a three-day event, was held on May 21-23 in Ames, Iowa, on the campus of Iowa State University. Among the topics discussed and decided on during the event were changes in the North American Ambassadors program including: changes included publicizing opportunites for non-ambassadors to promote Fedora at non-digital events; streamlining and creating an event owner checklist; discussion of policy of handling Ambassador funding; doing away with Regional Ambassador titles and streamlining the swag inventory system.

The following blogs, starting with Dave Nalley's comprehensive report, report the happenings at the event:

-This year the Fedora booth was much bigger than in 2009, with seven ambassadors/contributors, one contributor from the marketing team, one female translator "and one beautiful girl who is helping continuously fedora without being registered anywhere," according to Christos. About 500 people attended this year, giving the Fedora team a wonderful chance to inform people about Fedora, our new Greek Fedora forum and how to become a Fedora contributor.
