They have a great process, but it also requires someone
dedicated to helping
mentor the apprentices and do the status report queries. That
is definitely
awesome and I'd like to see more of it across Fedora, but I
don't know how
we can demand it of every sub-team.
I'm not really sure how it currently works on other teams, but
maybe we should have an ambassador assigned to every team? Maybe
multiple ambassadors to accommodate several timezones per
sub-team? Am I wrong in thinking that ambassadors should take up
responsibility of a particular team for fixed days in a given
timezone if they're going to become ambassadors? I understand
people are only volunteers, but I feel not being guided by a human
when starting out really puts off newcomers. It would be nice to
have rosters of ambassadors/contributors mentoring newcomers at
specific periods of time.
Sorry for the repeated reply, I just had a chat with Pete on irc and
it seems like I may have not explained my intent properly. What I
really mean to say is that there should be someone on every team to
help out newcomers, show them specifically how they can help with a
project based on their skills, and then be with them until they first
set it up on their local (or come up with a logo for eg). Now this
person may or may not be an ambassador, but it's useful if all
ambassadors know such people so they know who to point people to when
they're directing people to a team.
Thanks!

I think if it was set up as an ambassador controlled help line, then it
would work great.
A forum or something that makes people feel like they aren't alone and
can ask questions. I don't necessarily think that a 1:1 ratio or a
group-led walkthrough by one specific ambassador is needed, as much as a
place where people can go to feel heard. Yes the connections to real
people are important, but as long as someone on the other end can help
when questions arise would make all the difference.
