Discussion of Advocate Program in meeting on 1 October

[Brian (bex) Exelbierd]

Hi All,

I noticed some discussion of an advocate program in the meeting log.
Please take a look at

https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/mindshare-committee/advocate/

It'd be nice to see these programs work together so we can have an output
that can be used by our entire project.

The work done by Mindshare seems to accomplish the same goals and is
lighter weight.  Are there things that Mindshare should consider modifying?

regards,

bex

Hello @Bex and Latam team,

Advocate program is absolutely the quick way to growth the new team.

In Ecuador we have 2 principal barriers to speed up the work with
communities:

- Almost everything in the Fedoras universe's is in English. This is one
big opportunity to add effort into translation program.
- And the second, we need help to the teach/guide the newcomers in basics
stuff like IRC, wiki, and other things into Fedora ecosystem.

I've tried one solution to that. Working with classroom (Join SIG) to teach
the basics technical stuff, and I've saw the need/opportunity to make an
continuity program to speak about basics and ask for support with all in
latam community because we want spead this in the country. This idea still
is on development and we have the 2nd sprint about with the newcomers from
the last weekend RP event.

Finally, we can do the approach with Mindshare to expand this idea taking
the guidance/observations and the more effective way to improve the impact
with the local community work in Ecuador.

Thanks for your time and supporting Latam.

Could we combine these two by collecting the existing information we
have about this onboarding (irc, wiki, etc.) and put a copy on
docs.fedoraproject.org where we can get it translated?

These are great ideas.  What I was reacting too was the idea of trying
to make ambassadors out of new community members.  Let's get people
involved as contributors, in general, before we ask them to go out and
talk about us.
