Joerg Simon was born in  1971 in Gera, Thüringen (East-Germany). He lives in Baden-Württemberg with his wife Sabine. His first contact with IT related stuff was in the middle 80's ([http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/KC_85 KC85] ) at School. In the early 90's he joined the German Army for 12 years where he was NCO (Rank E-8) in a data processing unit in the first 4 years. He trained and worked in databaseprogramming(Generalized Information System) on UNIX Mainframe Computers. Later he changed to another unit and attended a UNIX based GIS System ([http://www.deutschesheer.de/portal/a/heer/kcxml/04_Sj9SPykssy0xPLMnMz0vM0Y_QjzKLNzSLtzB0BslB2Rb6kZiiBs5IokEpqfre-r4e-bmp-gH6BbmhEeWOjooAL_Mmaw!!/delta/base64xml/L2dJQSEvUUt3QS80SVVFLzZfMTZfOEE1?yw_contentURL=/C1256F870054206E/W269WHTG810INFODE/content.jsp HEROS] ) for display location and situation in battle scenarios. During the last 4 year he led the Information Management Department in the same Unit and improved his knowledge in IT Security. At the same time in 1996 he used Linux to join smaller units on one Information System via RAS, supported by a colleague and friend ([http://www.web42.com/crenz crenz] ). He learned quickly that RedHat was the Distribution for his requirements - like now Fedora - and decided to dedicate a part of his life to the FOSS World.

I dedicated and will still dedicate a large part of my time to the Ambassador Membership Service [http://jsimon.fedorapeople.org/fad08.pdf (AMA)], where i guide new Contributors as a sponsor and mentor into the Fedora Project. And my other "everyday" Job is to maintain the ambassador-mailing-list as Administrator.<br/>
To increase the Quality of the Ambassador Membership Process, i have developed and helped FAmSCo to establish the new approval process.<br/>
On my way as Ambassador, i initiated a few things which today are essential parts within Fedora Ambassadors, like the [[Ambassadors/PoloShirt | AmbassadorPolo]] or the well known generic Posterdesigns from [http://mihmo.livejournal.com/52591.html MairinDuffy].<br/>
Promoting Fedora on Events is another major part of a Ambassador and so i work as organizer, driver, helper, slogger, promoter on a lot [[JoergSimon#Fedora_Events_Pics | Events]] every year.<br/>
There are a few more things what i do, like trying new [http://kitall.blogspot.com/2008/03/recover-from-hat-trick-and-new-work.html MarketingMaterials] producing [http://spevack.livejournal.com/63469.html SWAG] for us - or work as PressOfficer for the Fedora EMEA e.V.or help as one of the few Fedora in Library Activists.
* '''Future plans'''
** Enhance Fedora´s presence in underrepresented Regions - this means in a short timeframe: support the ReleaseEvent in [[FedoraEvents/ReleaseParty/F10/Kyrgyzstan | Kyrgyzstan]] as a trailblazer (T-Shirts, Money...) - organize Fedora´s Presence on a [https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-ambassadors-list/2008-September/msg00425.html Event in Hungary in Spring 2009]. On a longterm, turn more and more of the white spaces on the worldmap into blue.
** Improve the MembershipProcess to make it easier and faster to contribute and work together with higher quality
** Establish real mentoring within regional requirements
** Establish measurability for our Work
** Establish liasons to other subprojects
** Invent new ways to encourage people to contribute to the Fedora Project
