Although there is always this parenthetical "other restrictions" that remains a mystery to me. What are those restrictions? How do they apply to other areas of the Fedora Project? For example, in the Q1 events I see an event in Sudan. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FedoraEvents#FY10_Q1_.28March_2009_-_May_2009.29_3 What are Fedora representatives allowed to do at an event in one of these nations? My biggest question remains this. How can ambassadors know what they are allowed to do to help contributors from these nations to participate in the Fedora Project?
