Greetings.

You are getting this email because you are in the 'fi-apprentice' group
in the fedora account system (or are reading this on the
infrastructure list). 

Feel free to reply just directly to me, or cc the infrastructure list
for everyone to see and comment on.

At the first of every month(or so), I am going to be sending out an
email like this one. I would like feedback on how things are going for
you.

I'd like to ask for everyone to send me a quick reply with the
following data or anything related you can think of that might help us
make the apprentice program more useful. 

0. Whats your fedora account system login?

1. Have you logged in and used your fi-apprentice membership to look at
our machines/setup in the last month? Do you plan to?
Yes
2. Has it helped you decide any area you wish to focus on or contribute
to more?
I think so.
3. Have you looked at or been able to work on any of the fi-apprentice
'easyfix' tickets?
https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-infrastructure/report/14
I've looked at the easyfix tickets, but it appears they are mostly waiting on internal tickets, or other decisions. Instead I added a requirement in the meetbot plug-in to require a meeting topic to #startmeeting per a ticket from Remy and have been working on csi group_vars.

4. Do you still wish to be a member of the group? If not (for whatever
reason) could you provide any hints to help others down the road?
Yes.

5. Is there any help or communication or ideas you have that would help
you do any of the above?
I do not believe so, but I am also able to make the weekly meetings regularly, so I may be better communicated to that some.

6. What do you find to be the hardest part of getting involved?
Finding things to work on? Getting attention from others to help you?
Finding tickets in your interest area? 
Probably finding things that I can do as a lot of the tickets at this point require a little but more than I have as most are in the bigger queue and a lot of the things I have found in the larger queue are taken care of at this time. Out side of that the remaining is just a learning curve thing, which will sort itself out.


7. Have you been able to make any weekly irc meetings? Do you find them
helpful or interesting? 
Yes, I have, and I find them helpful, insightful and interesting.


8. Have you logged into our Gobby instance and read/seen/added to our
meeting agenda? https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Gobby

Yes.

9. Did you know that we are going to be doing a 'technical debt
cleanup' week on 2016-01-06 to 2016-01-09? See:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Infrastructure/Debt
and come join us.
I do. I am looking forward to these starting as it will help me in the learning curve area and I should be able to be more useful as the people I need to do things will be right there at the time I need them and likely will not need to wait on them to check their email for something I've sent to the list as much. :)

Any other general feedback is also quite welcome, including
improvements to this email, the wiki page, etc.

No additional feedback at this time. If I come across something I will mention it on the list or in #fedora-admin.
Any folks I do not hear from in the next week will be removed from the
group. (Note that it's easy to be readded when you have time or
whatever and it's nothing at all personal, we just want to keep the
group up to date with active folks).

Thanks, and looking forward to your feedback!

kevin
