Shouting upstream - another thing Fedora Ambassadors can do is serve as a role model for other Ambassadors-like programs. Like this one:
http://teachingopensource.org/index.php/Conferences#Upcoming_events
"Our goal: To have a TOS Ambassador present - and presenting at - every higher education conference in the world."
That goal should sound familiar. ;)

PS: Was prompted to send this email by the following exchange in famsco townhall today.
18:54:12 < mchua> re #5: I'll note that there are other education-and-open-source initiatives that have been *directly* inspired by famsco + Ambassadors 18:54:18 < mchua> for instance, see http://teachingopensource.org/index.php/Conferences#Upcoming_events 18:54:51 < mchua> so one thing famsco could also do is serve as a role model for other ambassador-like programmes instead of trying to do it all within the Fedora umbrella 18:56:05 <@spevack> mchua: :) 18:56:06 < ke4qqq> mchua: can you cite them? 18:56:45 < mchua> ke4qqq: the TOS link above is one; I'm slowly moving towards proposing the same thing for Sugar Labs (which is doing it informally) 18:57:53 < ke4qqq> ha - I am on mailing lists for both, and didn't know they were trying to do the same thing - perhaps we could be better role models if we knew people were emulating us. 18:57:58 < ke4qqq> :) 19:01:01 < mchua> ke4qqq: ...wow, you're right, I *totally* hadn't realized we hadn't shouted back upstream! thanks!
