Ambassadors regularly speak to the public, since that's part of the natural responsibilities they willingly take on. In dealing with print and broadcast media, of course it's very helpful for Ambassadors to be thoroughly familiar with the Fedora marketing plan, our overview, and general tips on how to be an effective interview subject. The idea is not to tie Ambassadors down so that they need approval for local media contacts. Rather, it's to make them confident in answering tough questions like "Why should people care?" and "What makes Fedora different?" in constructive, positive ways. I think many Ambassadors do this very well already, but like anything else it's a skill one develops, and we can help each other develop that skill. The Fedora Marketing group is always available to assist. We should encourage collaboration and partnership between Ambassadors and Marketing overall to make our public contacts as meaningful, positive, and cohesive as possible. ` -- Paul W.
