[Action Required] Fedora Ambassador Activity Status

Hi Fedora Friend!

You may have heard about the current Community Outreach Revamp initiative that is taking place. If not, feel free to check out the links below to learn more. We have run a script to determine who is active in the Ambassadors FAS group, and your account came up as inactive based on the results from the fedmsg system. We are contacting you via your FAS email.

We are reaching out to inquire if you would like to continue your participation on the Fedora Ambassador Team. You are absolutely welcome to stay involved, or if not, we can move you to the Ambassador Emeritus group. Please respond to this email within two weeks or we will consider your participation in the Ambassador group inactive. You can always re-join at a later time!

Kind regards,
Sumantro Mukherjee, Mariana Balla, & the Temporary Task Force

[Action Required] Fedora Ambassador Activity Status

Hi Fedora Friend!

You may have heard about the current Community Outreach Revamp initiative that is taking place. If not, feel free to check out the links below to learn more. We have run a script to determine who is active in the Ambassadors FAS group, and your account came up as inactive based on the results from the fedmsg system. We are contacting you via your FAS email.

We are reaching out to inquire if you would like to continue your participation on the Fedora Ambassador Team as a mentor. You are absolutely welcome to stay involved, or if not, we can move you to the Ambassador Emeritus group. We are going to rework the mentorship process based on the feedback we received on the revamp proposal[1]. If you choose continue to participate, we look forward to you being a part of the rebuild process.

Please respond to this email within two weeks or we will consider your participation in the Ambassador group inactive. You can always re-join at a later time!

Kind regards,
Sumantro Mukherjee, Mariana Balla, & the Temporary Task Force

* Currently, gathering feedback from Mindshare teams / mailing lists
* Two seats on Mindshare: CommOps and Ambassador seats
