Last release we had an idea that I'm proposing we try for Fedora 7. For reasons that should be obvious as you read, the Ambassadors seem to be a natural group to do this. Perhaps in coordination/collaboration with Fedora Translation/L10n contributors?
The basic idea is to distribute to countries/regions a list of "talking points". Talking points are specific items we want to see covered in any release announcement. Then each region/language can choose to i) form a small team, and ii) collaborate to write a truly localized release announcement.
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs/Drafts/ReleaseAnnouncements#Process
Background
In the past, the announcement introduction has been written in English in a semi-humorous way. To understand it, you had to know specific cultural references. This made them fairly impossible to translate (or transliterate). Or even understand, period.
This new method would rely entirely upon the local groups to collaborate on an announcement, then distribute it within their region as a formal Fedora release announcement. One place to start is fedora-announce.
How many different language announcements can we get on fedora-announce for Fedora 7?
One concern that is that a release announcement is a very big chance to start misinformation about Fedora. For example, an announcement may be written in a language not read by most of the Fedora leadership, and the authors accidentally choose terms or phrasing that reflect negatively on Fedora. The quality of the writing or grammar also reflects on Fedora.
To lower this risk, it seems like a good idea to have the release announcement draft due for review by the final test (usually test3, occasionally test4). Every draft announcement then needs an independent review by a reader of that language.
I'm sure that this has been done informally in various countries. This idea is to formalize the process, recognize the people involved with the honor of speaking LOUDLY for Fedora, and make an ever bigger impact with this next release.

I'm going to take the discussion of defining the talking points to f-marketing-l.
