How can you help?
There are many ways you can help out -- from big to small. Every contribution helps and every helper on the ground counts.

Events
It does not have to be a Linux event. Think big, go to a music or media trade show and tell them how Fedora can help solve the problems they are facing. Help people understand why open media formats are better than proprietary. If you are looking for ready-made presentations and ideas for talks, visit individual events pages, like  FUDCon If you hold a talk, consider sending the slides to [mailto:alex@fedoraproject.org Alex Maier], so they can be published for others to use. Add the event to the FedoraEvents list yourself or simply send an email to [mailto:alex@fedoraproject.org Alex Maier]
 * Represent Fedora at a local event
 * Speak at a  conference near you
 * Alert Fedora about an event near you
 * Go to an event listed on  Fedora Events  page and tell the rest of us on [mailto:fedora-marketing-list@redhat.com Fedora Marketing List]  how it went

Press and Public Relations
The  Press  page is a good place to start Review our resources for  spreading news  on all major development updates, releases, new projects and events related to Fedora. Consider picking one or two stories and alerting the press about it.
 * Help us liaise with the press
 * Help spread the word about Fedora
 * Collect [wiki:Self:Marketing/UserTestimonials user testimonials] and publish them on the wiki
 * [wiki:Self:Distribution Distribute Fedora] to the public and educate about its advantages
 * Solicit  Linux User Groups  members to use and contribute to Fedora
 * Dispel  common myths  and educate media and the public about Fedora
 * Fedora Press Archive
 * Fedora Community Rewards Program

Fedora Ambassadors
Fedora Ambassadors are people like you and me, who go to places where other Linux users and potential converts gather and tell participants about Fedora.

Fedora Ambassadors...
 * Represent the Fedora Project to the wider public
 * Help spread the word about Fedora, Linux, and Open Source
 * Are a point of contact for local community members and channel the feedback to Fedora Project
 * Help recruit project contributors

In short,  Fedora Ambassadors  do everything to help promote Fedora, Linux, and Open Source, and put an individual face on Fedora.
