| =Be active as a Ambassador=
| |
| | |
| * '''Participate in regular meetings''' for your region on irc.freenode.org in the channel '''#fedora-meeting''' (the time of the next meeting is usually posted in the topic of the chat and on the mailing list). See [[Ambassadors/Meetings| Fedora Ambassadors Meeting Minutes]] to catch up.
| |
| * '''Have your name on [[Ambassadors/CountryList| Ambassadors Country List]] ''' so the people can find and contact you.
| |
| * '''Be a speaker at an event.''' Clubs, Linux User Groups (LUGs), school/college/university groups can all benefit from hearing the good word about Fedora. Talk to people. Casually, in a suit, it doesn't matter.<BR>''If you were asked to talk at an event, don't panic-—browse fedoraproject.org wiki and you will find some material to get you started. FUDCon pages might be a good place to start, as most of the talks that were given at past conferences are available there for download.''
| |
| * '''Collect press articles about Fedora''' and post them to the [[Fedora press archive| Press Archive]]
| |
| * '''Collect feedback from community members''' and submit it to the [mailto:fedora-marketing-list@redhat.com Fedora Marketing List] or talk about it with any Fedora Ambassadors Steering Committee member.<BR>''Consider posting Fedora success stories on [[Marketing/UserTestimonials| Fedora User Testimonials page]] .''
| |
| * '''Promote Fedora events.''' We organize a FUDCon, about once every three months - use contact base to gain speakers, attendees, gophers, et al.<BR>''If you want to help out organizing a FUDCon or other Fedora event, visit FUDCon/Organization to see what tasks are there to be taken care of.''
| |
| * '''Distribute Press Releases to local press,''' translating them into a local language, when required.<BR>''Need a press release? Here is the [[Fedora press archive| Press Release Repository]] .''
| |
| * '''Support and coordinate offline Fedora and Open Source activities,''' like Software Freedom Day, handing out flyers, the distribution on DVD, and so forth.<BR>''Watch this list of upcoming offline FedoraEvents''
| |
| * '''Sign up Fedora Project for regional events'''-—it need not be a computer-related event to be relevant. Go to a music trade show to talk about free culture and open music formats, go to a university event to talk about Fedora to students and faculty, go to a local Linux event and get some space for a booth in the .ORG pavilion...<BR>''Once you have secured participation in an event, please add it to the FedoraEvents list!''
| |
| * Just make sure to '''coordinate with Fedora Marketing''' so you get support in form of money for travel, space, booth signage, trade show infrastructure, giveaways, etc.<BR>'' [[FedoraEvents/Organization| Event Organizers' Resources]] page is a good place to start.''
| |
| * '''Communicate eloquently'''. Fedora Ambassadors should be the conduct leaders for the community. Make sure you dont trash talk or be rude to anyone while wearing a 'Fedora' or even in general to the community. See CommunityConduct page for general guidelines and [[Ambassadors/Conduct| Ambassadors conduct]] for specific information.
| |
| * '''Become an expert at Fedora''' (both the project and the distribution). This way you're a constant resource to your local userbase, which will make new users more welcome to the project/distribution. When in doubt however, ask.
| |
| * '''Keep Up with Current Issues ''' - Fedora Ambassadors should keep up with Current Issues by tracking and reading various news resources such as [[NewsProject |Fedora News Project]] , [http://redhat.com/magazine Red Hat Magazine] and even [http://planet.fedoraproject.org/ Planet Fedora] .

| {{Admon/tip | If you are unsure of messaging, [[Marketing/TalkingPoints| Fedora Talking Points]] is always a good source}}

| | |
| ==== Need Stuff? ====
| |
| | |
| If you need stuff/money for an event make sure that this event is listed at [[FedoraEvents| Event]] page before the deadline passed for the period where the event is in. If you miss the deadline for the [[Ambassadors/SteeringCommittee/Budget| budget]] it would become more complicate to get the money or even impossible. Because you have to ask other event owner if they can pass you some money.
