Hmmm, I'm on the D.C. list. Maybe I could try being the D.C.
Ambassador...
Initially bothered by the lack of definition of an ambassadors duties, I
figured I had the wrong attitude. So, O.K. Here are some ideas.
. Ask the "foreign" group what works for them. Both with regard to
their mailing list and their meetings/other activities. Report
back to opug.
. Encourage members of the foreign group to post on opug (that's
what I call this list :-) "Introduction" style posts would be
welcome, too. Kind of like being an exchange student...
. Ask the foreign group if it's O.K. for opug folks to occasionally
post on the foreign list. (Assuming lack of language issues.)
. Ask the foreign group what the job situation is in their neck of
the woods. Report back to opug.
Just some ideas. That's all I can come up with at the moment. Maybe
opug folk could suggest more?
Oh, and I would say, don't "push" the foreign group. Pace your
posts/contact so that they don't perceive you as pushy or get pissed
at you 'cause you're an uppity guest.
