Ambassadors
In this section, we cover Fedora Ambassadors Project[1].

Utah Open Source Conference
Last week saw the annual Utah Open Source Conference, the U.S. Mountain West region's biggest and best Linux festival[1], held in Salt Lake City, Utah, from Oct. 8-10. This is the third year of this annual event, and Fedora is one of the sponsors.
Fedora had a booth at the event where much media, stickers and assistance from the Fedora Ambassador community was provided to attendees.
See posts on the Fedora Planet[2] for reviews and thoughts on the meeting.
Get on the map
Want to find the nearest ambassador? How about one in Belarus? Now you can.
Susmit Shannigrahi reports that finding out the nearest ambassadors, which was once a tedious task, is now as simple as viewing a map. The map is at here and instructions on how to place yourself on the map can be found at here.
Fedora 12 is coming
While you may still be promoting Fedora 11 in your areas, you can make plans for Fedora 12 events to promote and celebrate the release of our next version.
As such, with the upcoming release of Fedora 12, this is a reminder that posting an announcement of your event on Fedora Weekly News can help get the word out. Contact FWN Ambassador correspondent Larry Cafiero at lcafiero-AT-fedoraproject-DOT-org with announcements of upcoming events -- and don't forget to e-mail reports after the events as well.
