+Fedora Ambassadors North America resource request tracker
+=========================================================
+
+
+## What is this?
+
+This Pagure instance is here to help the [Fedora Ambassadors of North America](https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_Ambassadors_North_America_(FAMNA)) make requests for resources they might need, such as…
+
+* Make requests for media to distribute at local events (this is _not_ the [Free Media](https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FreeMedia) program)
+* Make requests for [Ambassador kits](https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/AmbassadorKit) (a.k.a. **event boxes**)
+* Make requests for stickers, buttons, t-shirts and the like to refill [Ambassador kits](https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/AmbassadorKit).
+
+The other purposes are…
+
+* Allowing the North American Ambassadors the ability to view and process requests without duplication
+* Avoid duplicate requests for resources
+* Better planning purchases for future resources
+
+
+## Make a request
+
+To make a request for resources, you **must** be a Fedora Ambassador in North America. If you are not, please join by following the steps [here](https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/Join).  
+
+After you've become an Ambassador for North America, [log into Pagure](https://pagure.io/login/?next=https://pagure.io/ambassadors-na/requests). Click [New Issue](https://pagure.io/ambassadors-na/requests/new_issue) and include the following in your ticket.
+
+* **Name** and full **mailing address**
+* **Quantity of resources** you need
+    * [Ambassador kits](https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/AmbassadorKit) / event boxes can only be requested one (1) at a time by region
+* **Short explanation** of your request and how it might promote Fedora
+* **Phone number** (_required_)
+* **Type of shipment**
+    * Choose Ground unless you can justify faster (more expensive) shipping. Keep in mind that failure to plan on your part does not constitute an emergency on ours.
+* **Your region**
+    * Canada
+    * US Central
+    * US East Coast
+    * US West Coast
+
+Do not assign the issue to anyone – it is automatically assigned to the correct person based upon region.
