This question starts off with an unclear, and probably invalid, assumption that the role of FAmSCo "appears to be changing." Having been an Ambassador since Fedora 9 and a mentor for over a year, I don't see the role of FAmSCo or the Fedora Ambassadors program changing at all. But what I do see is a bright future for FAmSCo and the Fedora Ambassadors program continuing as it is going now -- naturally, there will be tweaks along the way to address whatever unforeseen issues arise in the future, but on the whole I think FAmSCo has done well.

I want to echo something I wrote in my statement as a candidate for this position: The Fedora Project's Ambassador program is the standard by which other distros use to promote themselves. Our Ambassadors are the best of any distro or FOSS project, and others projects, like OpenSUSE, clearly recognize this by copying our methods. In large part, both the work of the Ambassadors and the work of FAmSCo have been responsible for this, and I'd like to help maintain that high standard going forward.

Regardless of whether I am elected, I continue to be proud of participating in the Fedora Project, proud of the Ambassadors program, and proud of the work we all do on different facets and levels in the project.

The role of FAmSCo appears to be changing, what do you think FAmSCo's future is?

Larry Cafiero - FAmSCo
This question starts off with an unclear, and probably invalid, assumption that the role of FAmSCo "appears to be changing." Having been an Ambassador since Fedora 9 and a mentor for over a year, I don't see the role of FAmSCo or the Fedora Ambassadors program changing at all.

But what I do see is a bright future for FAmSCo and the Fedora Ambassadors program continuing as it is going now -- naturally, there will be tweaks along the way to address whatever unforeseen issues arise in the future, but on the whole I think FAmSCo has done well.

I want to echo something I wrote in my statement as a candidate for this position: The Fedora Project's Ambassador program is the standard by which other distros use to promote themselves. Our Ambassadors are the best of any distro or FOSS project, and others projects, like OpenSUSE, clearly recognize this by copying our methods. In large part, both the work of the Ambassadors and the work of FAmSCo have been responsible for this, and I'd like to help maintain that high standard going forward.

Regardless of whether I am elected, I continue to be proud of participating in the Fedora Project, proud of the Ambassadors program, and proud of the work we all do on different facets and levels in the project.

Do you think it's important to have more people vote in Fedora elections? If so, how would you encourage that?

Do you think Fedora should focus on the Desktop? Or someplace else? If so, where?
