[David Farning]

Hey all,

Below is a thread on Sugar ambassadors from last week.  I meant to
send it to iaep with a few follow on cc's.  Looks like I left off
iaep.

We have hinted around the edges several times about the importance of
an ambassadors program for Sugar Labs.

The basic idea behind the ambassadors programs is to help people such
as Caryl feel like they have what they need to effectively communicate
to various groups about Sugar and Sugar Labs.

At some levels this is a marketing issue but at other levels, this is
a community building issue.

I am willing to get the program started.  I would like to hand it off
to someone with actual social skills as soon as possible.  At the
OLPCFrance day of SugarCamp, I was much more comfortable sitting
upstairs with Scott Meeks and Gary Martin than talking and mingling.

We can start by collecting a list of interesting events and a set of
inspiring resources.
