</div>They have a great process, but it also requires someone dedicated to helping<br>
mentor the apprentices and do the status report queries. That is definitely<br>
awesome and I'd like to see more of it across Fedora, but I don't know how<br>
we can demand it of every sub-team.<br>

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. <br>

for the repeated reply, I just had a chat with Pete on irc and it
seems like I may have not explained my intent properly. What I really
mean to say is that there should be someone on every team to help out
newcomers, show them specifically how they can help with a project based
on their skills, and then be with them until they first set it up on
their local (or come up with a logo for eg). Now this person may or may
not be an ambassador, but it's useful if all ambassadors know such
people so they know who to point people to when they're directing people
to a team. <br></div></div><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">Thanks!<br></div></div>
