I rather suspect it will appeal to the sorts of people that either don't have any experience to begin with and who aren't likely to stick with us. > B: Use *I-don't-know-his-name*'s characters as exemplified here: > [3] https://fedoraproject.org/w/uploads/5/55/Fedora-15-livemedia-64.png Can someone explain who these faceless people are supposed to be and what they are supposed to represent? My mouth pretty much fell open when I saw the cover art on the finished product and I have no idea what any of it means. There may be a really cool idea behind it but I don't get it from just looking at the cover. > I was thinking in the lines of *B* but adapted to poses that can send > the 'Ambassador' message.

While I like your sketch here much better than any of the previously proposed options I guess before encouraging more work in this direction I'd like to get a feel for why people think this sort of theme actually fits with the objective of attracting the sorts of people who will be well suited to the ambassador group?!
