The Ambassadors/Join page is incorrect

[Clint Savage]

Hi all,

I was just reading the Ambassadors/Join page at
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/Join, which I believe is
the recommended way to get Ambassadors to join the Fedora Project.
Problem is, it's wrong, plain wrong.  Per the messages a month or two
back from Francesco Ugolini and Joerg Simon, new ambassadors have a
very different process than what I was told.

The problem with this is that we ambassadors are the first point of
contact with many who are wishing to be contributors to Fedora.  I am
interested in mentoring these folks into the project and want to show
them a model for joining and getting involved.  Each group should have
a good join page in my opinion and our should be the example.

I wonder if there is somewhere documented the new process besides the
mailing list?  And if not, should we take the time to improve the Join
page?  I think we should, but wanted to open the discussion to all
Ambassadors to see others opinions.

I look forward to hearing responses and suggestions over the next few days.

Cheers,

Clint

There is a great wiki page done by Joerg Simon about the new
procedures: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors/MembershipService

You are right maybe it's time to renew the [[Ambassadors/Join]] page.
Is there any volunteer?

I think that making this a project for January is an excellent plan.

Works for me Joerg.  I can likely help you around then as well.

Cheers,
