That's too easy, it won't work because volunteers are not employed
Why wouldn't it? I don't understand the whole employment argument, can you please
explain what do you mean by that?
Really? Ok, employed people are paid by someone, and the one who pays them can pretend
whatever he likes, from feedback within 24 hours to rules which help the employer to
control his employees in their activity, etc...here is the difference to volunteers.
As I see it, if you take on responsibility, you should either be
responsible, or step down. If I were to think about it subjectively - If I take on
responsibility in any community, I'll fulfill my responsibilities to the letter and be
available to everyone and will reply within 24 hours. And there are plenty of communities
where I have significant responsibility and I will always reply within 24 hours, even
though I receive and reply to a good hundred messages every day. Typing a few sentences to
everyone won't take more than a few minutes of my time, that's the least. Worse
is, if I actually have to do something. So based on this experience of mine, I don't
understand why would it be a big deal to expect ambassadors to at least reply.
Easy, you do this as your dayjob anyway, others don't. Most of them are doing other
things during the day, and hardly find time to follow all the mails in the mailing
lists.
They are not obliged to do anything, and some of them won't reply
to your mail, even if they are active.
This doesn't seem to be cool and should never happen. Ambassador or any other
important contributor role. As I said, being at certain position comes with
responsibility.
I am not saying this is cool, but it will happen.
Personally I want to keep all people who spread the word of Fedora,
no matter if they do that more or less often.
Do you? Wasn't so long ago when you objected to contribution from someone who just
didn't join any FAS groups, claiming that they're not a contributor, even though
he actually replied to things, lurked in meetings, and participated in code. So how do we
measure contribution, by idle fas membership, or rather the actual, witnessed
contribution? (i.e. replying to emails and participating in meetings and events, in case
of ambassadors)
Please don't mix up things here, apparently you still don't get the point. This is
off topic and doesn't help here, unless you want to create another flame. Sorry but I
don't have time for that.
