How would the "active ambassador" be different from "mentor?" Can we
merge these two things?
Well, speaking of commitments.... :) To me, mentorship implies a pretty large commitment
to making yourself available for bringing someone into the community and coaching them on
how things work and various expectations. Someone might just want to say that they're
able to answer general queries, look for volunteers for a particular need, etc., without
feeling comfortable with mentorship.
I guess actually on the other hand, someone might be acting as a mentor to several other
community members, and not feel like they have time for that general other stuff. I think
on the whole, mentors would be active ambassadors but not all active ambassadors would
have to be mentors.
Totally agree with that.
@rhea please when you quote someone, don't add quotes to a person who didn't say
that, that's confusing.
@mattdm I think your example of Ten Thousand Villages doesn't fit here and I am still
convinced we should not force anyone, because we cannot measure what this person is doing.
Talking with friends or to the University IT or just being part of a LUG and showing
people what they do with Fedora and eventually explain to others how they can contribute
and how much fun that is, is not measurable. And this person is still doing an ambassadors
job, even without an event or whatever, or isn't he? I tried also to explain to @bex ,
without success, that company's rules cannot be applied to volunteers, even less to
ambassadors.
I am happy you agree we should take any kind of contribution, even if it is just a small
one. That's what makes Fedora different, not how many minutes I dedicate to this Linux
community.
The discussion is going behind the topic, because initially the question was just how long
a user should wait to get a response from an ambassador.
