As I see, more of the concerns can be summarized this way:
- Budget request from non-Ambassadors
- Swag distribution process
- Documentation to support the proposed changes
- Converting the document into proceses
- Avoiding abuses both Advocates and RPs organizers
The positive comments, looks to me, like going this way:
- Lowering the burden to new people that want to contribute
- Low friction process to RPs
- Ambassadors Emeritus
From my POV I think the next step should be to work on the steps that are
being positive, and pass to construct a document about the way to work on
concerns.
I'm really happy to see many people reacting to this, and I hope we can
continue having this discussion. Please share this thread as many times as
you can, in your respectives meetings: APAC, EMEA, LATAM and NA. We are her
to work together and improve, as ambassadors and as project.
Last but not least, I see a comment about how an ambassador grows and that
a mentor is not a "merit badge". Well I'm partially agree with this, For
the ambassador growth, we need to be conscious about something: We are
contributors, most of the ambassadors don't make a living being ambassador,
we need commitment and need trust, and as we see, the Council and the
Mindshare Committee have the will to trust in us. There is no measurements
to see how an ambassador have grown from the start, that is a measure that
each one needs to have, because it answer to personal goals. And for the
mentors, this is so true, being a mentor is not a merit badge, is a huge
commitment about something in what you truly believe: The Fedora Project.
Thanks for your comment.
