I've never read anything against this, so I'm wondering if it was ever
brought up at all.
Are Fedora ambassadors allowed to also be <put your alternate distro
name here> ambassadors?
I think it's problematic. I think that Fedora ambassadors should
high-value, trusted opinion-leaders, and should embody the energy and
excitement of the Fedora project. Somebody who tries to act as a higher
authority of why one would want to use Distribution X or Y for a given
situation, instead of encouraging people outside the community or inside
of it to make Fedora the best distribution for the task in question, are
not being true ambassadors.
I agree wholeheartedly.
One of the distinctive things Fedora brings to the table is our
uncompromising values of 100% free and open source high quality
software. Telling people about Fedora's values and then going around
and telling other people to download something which conflicts with our
core values (e.g. because they ship certain codecs/drivers) severely
demerits our messaging.
