ok, when u not doing Launch Parties what doing the Ambassadors from India then? Please tell me, say not I contribute to the wiki or such stuff, because thats not the job for an Ambassador.
I can only speak for myself. In the past year or so - -I have done and personally overseen over 100 individual oS installs. -Handled openSUSE in two installfests.
Among them, there will be people who still use openSUSE, dropout's who went (back) to some other distro/OS?
-Taken introductory classes for primary school teachers, albeit as part of a larger group
Among them..
-provided round the year support for around 50 users at town/institute
Among them..
-guided new users
Among them...
-gave several impassioned 'Why openSUSE' speeches to groups and individuals alike. -Ran word-of-mouth as well as DVD distribution campaigns in Mukti, a LUG symposium with over 1000 registrations. -followed strict openSUSE oriented policy in our startup despite disgruntled associates -tried to help on the social media visibility front, mostly twitter.
All of you people could join together and celebrate and spread the word about openSUSE 11.3? An opportunity to turn few people who simply use Linux into major contributors, bring those who live in the past with 10.3, 11.0 to the current/future. I agree, you are not paid to work and we are just a community of volunteers. No one can demand, you to do something. Just suggestions. Thanks Nikanth
This I have done, african bird or not, without even a single piece of merchandise, despite two clear requests, one for merchandise, another for sponsorship. Maybe someone's done a lot more. Maybe I did not try out a Launch party. But when I am not immediately looking for membership, not looking for a software job(as Sankar P suggested in general), not doing FOSS or even s/w full time, not entirely financially independent, I'm afraid this will have to make do on my part. If that is not enough, maybe I'm not suitable for the program. I can step down if it is so.

P.S.[OT] A little clearer sentence construction would be really helpful.
