Fedora Ambassadors

Banner

Fedora Ambassadors are representatives of the Fedora Project. Ambassadors ensure the public understand Fedora Project’s principles and the community’s work. Additionally, Ambassadors are responsible for helping to grow the contributor base and to act as a liaison between other FLOSS projects and the Fedora community. You can still represent Fedora in public without being an Ambassador. In this case, you are a Fedora Advocate Ambassadors give a face and a name to Fedora. Fedora can be big and scary, but Ambassadors will help make sure that one person finds their way through all the confusion into the place where they can contribute. Ambassadors are the glue. They help connect different people in different parts of the Project because they always deal with people whose interests are diverse.
