In today's APAC Ambassadors meeting we were talking about how tickets were not moving through the system despite ambassadors ready to do events.  We've tried a few things in the past, but it has been super hard to get real-time meetings working or to get ticket voting to happen in all cases.  Questions seems to block events from being approved, even when the question is about details not related to the approvals.

The end result of this was to use APAC as the leading edge of the Mindshare movement.  The proposal is to ask Mindshare to start working with APAC events/requests immediately.  This provides the following benefits:
    
    1. APAC gets a group of people to help move tickets through a process and it unblocks ambassadors to do what they do best -- FANTASTIC FEDORA EVENTS!
    2. Mindshare gets a queue of real requests to apply the strategy they are working on too.  This will expose gaps and holes.
    3. It gives Mindshare the ability to generate their procedures as they work on translating their proposal into procedures using real issues.

The request in this email is to find out if both groups are willing to do this.

Mindshare can review this in their next meeting on Monday.  This is opened in their ticket queue as: https://pagure.io/mindshare/issue/26

Because APAC ambassadors is a large group across many timezones and doesn't meet as frequently, let's use a modified lazy consensus model.  Let's get some +1s in the Mindshare ticket to indicate sentiment and address any -1s to identify challenges and respond to them.  I strongly encourage anyone who has concerns to raise them and to note what could be done to solve their concern as well solve the overall issues.

Please continue the conversation in ticket https://pagure.io/mindshare/issue/26
