**Discussed in [2016-11-29
meeting](https://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-meeting/2016-11-29/comm...
We're picking back up on some older tickets again. We wanted to help get this one
rolling ASAP since December election cycles are right around the corner!
# Summary
* @meskarune ~~File a ticket in the Fedora Council Pagure suggesting the idea of having a
mentorship or training period for first-time candidates who are elected into the Council
to help them get started and familiar with the position~~
* **[Done!](https://pagure.io/Fedora-Council/tickets/issue/79)**
* @dhanesh95 Reach out to the Fedora Council, either on the mailing list or IRC, to work
with them on updating the [wiki
page](https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Council#Responsibilities) to better explain the
roles, responsibilities, benefits, and skills needed to be a Council member no later than
end of day, Friday, Dec. 2, 2016
* @jflory7 Reach out to FESCo, either on the mailing list or IRC, to work with them on
updating the wiki page to better explain the roles, responsibilities, benefits, and skills
needed to be a FESCo member, no later than end of day, Friday, Dec. 2, 2016
# Analysis
We had a fair amount of discussion about this topic in the meeting. In a nutshell, we
broke up the immediate tasks into three things, as described above. @meskarune already
filed the [ticket](https://pagure.io/Fedora-Council/tickets/issue/79) in the Fedora
Council Pagure about a mentorship or training program for first-time Council members
during the meeting, which is awesome! For more info on that, you should [follow the
ticket](https://pagure.io/Fedora-Council/tickets/issue/79).
@dhanesh95 and I are going to work on starting to improve the profiles / explanation of
the roles of the Fedora Council (@dhanesh95) and FESCo (me). **Why do this?** The purpose
of us making more clear and concrete examples of what it means to serve in one of these
electable bodies should help improve participation and interest in the Elections. The
Council has some description and when I last looked for FESCo, I couldn't find
anything specific. For both bodies, it would be helpful to draw out clear descriptions of
their roles and responsibilities, examples of some of the skills that are helpful to serve
in this seats, and the kinds of benefits it offers (e.g. growing your own experience,
having an impact on the Fedora community, etc.).
Our goal is to get discussion rolling on these things by the end of the week, and
hopefully we will have some more to discuss at next week's meeting.
