As far as I am aware, nothing is happening with GNOME Ambassadors.  I 
was to lead it last year and then I flaked out due to a family 
emergency.  Stormy, Vincent, & others & I developed the idea during the 
May marketing hackfest in Zaragoza, and I still think it would be 
worthwhile, but yeah, there's no time between now and GNOME 3's launch.

The page is

http://live.gnome.org/Ambassadors

and, like Stormy, I do think it would be a valuable goal to develop more 
quality speakers for GNOME within the next few years.  I'd be willing to 
lead an IRC meeting next week to discuss further; say, Tuesday the 15th, 
or Wed. or Thurs.?  I've set up a Doodle time poll:

Agenda:

Looking over a schedule, to be sent out as soon as I edit it
Naming some candidates
Naming potential mentors

Should be maybe 20-30 minutes.
