I think ambassadors targeting colleges and universities is an excellent direction. These are the folks that are going to influence various decisions and how work is done in the future. Exposing them to open source tools, philosophies and Fedora while in school is a great way to both bolster the number of contributors to the project and build a user base. Several have already made excellent suggestions already as to more specific areas to target and such. > I want it to be different than the > current ambassadors setup. Given that many of the responders to the thread are already Fedora Ambassadors and ready to help, why do you want a different setup than the current ambassadors? If the current isn't seen as working well - then lets focus on fixing that so both ambassadors working on a college campus and those of us working at open source conferences and events can all benefit. What do we gain by not working within the Ambassador framework for this? I think this is a project that fits under the Ambassador group quite nicely and would let us build on lessons already learned by that group and also allow for lessons learned by ambassadors working on college campuses to feed back into the ambassador group as well.
