At the December, 2006 Outreach meeting, the committee said this:
- Guiding the ambassadors The ambassadors need to know what to say and what not to say about Free Geek to represent us correctly and not make promises that we can't keep. The press kit will be helpful for that. They'll also need some more guidance, though, depending on what the ambassador is going elsewhere to do. DECISION: We think that each ambassador should read the press kit, then meet with at least 2 outreach people to get some good perspectives for their specific mission before they leave in a sit-down meeting. After they come back, they'll need to give a report on what they learned to the outreach committee.
Also, on 2/16/06:
When will the outreach committee want to speak to you/check in before you speak at an event?
* If you are giving a presentation at a conference or talking at a public event and representing Free Geek * If you're talking for Free Geek to a reporter from a major media outlet * If you're going to staff a table at an event on Free Geek's behalf or speak in a classroom.
This meeting with the outreach committee will often be quite casual and short, depending on the event where you'll be speaking. It shouldn't be seen as a big hindrance to outreach, but it needs to happen so our spokespersons are well-informed. After you've spoken at an event, please send the outreach committee an email to let us know how it went! You don't need to check in with outreach if: * You're attending an event and want to network * Your words about Free Geek are written in a personal blog or in a minor publication
An ambassador is (one who goes out into the world to speak and act while representing Free Geek. This page is intended to help ambassadors become better informed as to how to represent Free Geek.
