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.
Just an opinion :-)
