There appears to be different alternative procedures for applying to be a sponsor:
either emailing this list, the FESCo chair, or in person during FESCo IRC
- there is also this page:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Extras/Schedule/NewSponsors that has not been updated since January. The persons listed on the page have all been approved as sponsors since.
Is there a preferred way to do this?
Thanks,
I also have this one question: Can a regular user (not a proven packager) apply to be a sponsor? I don't see anything in the guidelines that says only proven packagers can apply.
Proven packager is a newer category, so yes, the traditional course of affair is for a regular packager to apply (or be nominated) for sponsorship.
You can, of course, apply for both at the same time.
