=== Who we are ===
Ambassadors are the representatives of Fedora. They ensure the public understands Fedora's principles and the work that Fedora is doing, and are responsible for helping to grow the contributor base by acting as a liaison between other FLOSS projects and the Fedora community.


== Who are they? ==
=== What we do ===
 
* Organize Fedora participation at [[FedoraEvents|events]].
Fedora Ambassadors are every day people, who go to places where other Linux users and potential users/interested parties gather, and tell them about Fedora the linux distribution, but also the Fedora Project as a whole.
* Talk about the [[Foundations|Four Foundations]] of Fedora.
'''Please note:''' This does not have to be an event as such, telling your neighbours, friends, work colleagues is also a way to spread the word.
* Promote and demonstrate Fedora and other FLOSS projects to the public, i.e. at local user groups with talks, etc.
 
== Where are they? ==
 
Fedora Ambassadors are located all over the world. Take a look at the following pages, to see where you can find them, and in which regions they are found.
