Hello mentors!

My name is Adam Miller and I am a member of the Fedora QA

community and in a meeting a couple weeks ago we discussed a new concept of using a FAS group to control those who will be able to apply karma to packages in CURRENT_RELEASE+1 critical path. The proposal I have drafted is located here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/JoinCriticalPathWranglers:Draft and the issue we've run into thus far is that we don't entirely know how to move forward with setting up the mentoring program. Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

From the Ambassadors-mentoring pov - we assign the Mentor as a imperative Step to become involved into the Ambassadors Group - and we try to assign tasks whenever possible. There are certain regional approaches: the US-Mentors mostly use a Letter with generic Tasks- https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Welcome_Message_To_New_Ambassadors

in India we have a situation where we encourage to participate in one of the various projects within Fedora before applying to become an Ambassador. We believe that this provides the necessary skills and experience to handle the responsibilities expected of a Fedora Ambassador. ...

all what you listed on https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/Join is something that also a Ambassador should able to do or at least to show new contributors. We are always looking for different groups inside Fedora where we have tasks to be assigned to our Mentees. Do you think it make sense to add this as a possible Task to learn how to do real work inside the Fedora Project? If yes, should we encourage the Ambassadors Mentors to assign more QA Tasks to new Candidates?
