How to be a Mentor

[Onyeibo Oku]

Hmmm, so you want to be a mentor, huh?

Are you an Ambassador?  If so, what's your problem? ... You're already
an mentor of some sort. After all, what do ambassadors do?
Oh I see!  You want to wear the label "Mentor"? Ah, how sweet:

Twohot's Steps to Mentoring:

1. Be so good with fedora that your experience is mouth-watering 
2. Draw hordes and hordes of people to Fedora (a continent will be just
fine ... of course, I'm joking)
3. Stay on stand-by as your new converts bombard your email of chat
client with FAS & registration questions (even when you don't wear the
label)
4. Hang around the usual channels and don't make a fool of yourself (I
never get past that)
5. Organize or attend fedora events ... its another opportunity to wear
the blue t-shirt and feel geeky (I mean talk ... hehehehe)
6. Visit fedora-forums and help someone (wow, its another school ...
none development-oriented users or IT gurus beware!)
7. Do 1-6 repeatedly until you can perform while in your sleep

Heck! you should be a mentor by now.

DISCLAIMER:
I am not a mentor yet.  Adhere with caution!

One of the best characteristics of an ambassadors is to ask questions.
Fedora moves so fast that it is useful to challenge past decisions. An
this is not disturbs, believe or not, is a creative process...
wondering if we need a how to or if we can go as we have been for some
more time. So, please don't apologize for making questions.
