User:Ankursinha/Requesting Media from Ambassadors

Common Workflow
  Locate the Ambassador nearest to you. We encourage Ambassadors to make themselves available on this map. You can also look at the Ambassadors Page for a complete region wise list.   If you're nearby, please contact the Ambassador and try to collect the media physically. (Sub section 1)   If it isn't possible to collect media from an Ambassador in person, please refer to sub section 2.   If both the above mentioned methods do not work out for you, please use the free media programme.  Once you get your Fedora media. Look at The Fedora Documentation Project for the installation guide and more!.  Now that you have a copy of Fedora, you can help us by providing Fedora to people around you! You can even contribute to the Fedora project.   When you get into trouble,get in touch with us. 

Collecting media physically from an Ambassador in the same city as you
 Email/contact the Ambassador: If the phone number is given, you can call too, emailing is preferred.</li> Hey <Ambassador's name>

I'd like to have a $FEDORA_REQUIRED_MEDIA. I happen to live in $LOCATION. Can you please provide me with the $MEDIA? I can come down and get the media from you if you give me your address and fix me a time.

[You can optionally add a reason why you need the media etc., but it isn't really necessary]

Thanks  You will receive a reply on the following lines:</li>  If you're in luck :</li> Hi !

Thank you for your interest in Fedora!

Yes, you can come down to my place and collect the $MEDIA from me. Here's my address:

$ADDRESS

$CONTACT NUMBER

$TIME

Can you please bring blank dvds/cds that I can burn for you?

Thanks! <Ambassador's name> If you're out of luck:</li> Hi !

Thank you for your interest in Fedora!

Unfortunately, I cannot provide you with media at the time.

[Optionally : A reason]

Would you please contact another Ambassador in the area? I know are also around here and would probably be able to help you out.

You can also refer to the Requesting_Media page on the fedora project wiki to look for other ways of receiving media. If you need more help, please email me.

I'd be happy to pay the cost of the media and the shipping. Can you please specify a mode of transfer and an approximate?
