== Who are they? ==
== Who are we? ==


Fedora Ambassadors are people like you and me, who go to places where other Linux users and potential converts gather and tell them about Fedora — the project and the distribution.
Ambassadors are the representatives of Fedora. Ambassadors ensure the public understand Fedora's principles and the work that Fedora is doing. Additionally Ambassadors are responsible for helping to grow the contributor base, and to act as a liaison between other FLOSS projects and the Fedora community.


== Where are they? ==
