Hiya,
I hope everyone had a good holiday. I'm still on a vacation of sorts,
but since most folks are back, I thought I'd get the ball rolling ASAP.
So here it is:
Fedora Join stage 2
###################
Objective
- ----------
The objective of this stage is to carry on from stage 1 (making Fedora
Join visible to the community). In stage 1, we published and announced
on the community channels - the community blog, the announce mailing
list. The intention was to make the community aware that we are
preparing a channel where newbies and community members can interact.
In stage 2, now that we've the channels and some community members
ready to help, we announce the channels to the public. So, in a
sentence, stage 2 says "Tell the world about Fedora Join!".
How
###
We'll need to use the public facing channels for this one.
Announcements should go out on these:
- - Fedora magazine
- - Users mailing list
- - Web forums:
- Ask Fedora
-
Fedoraforum.org
- - It'll be awesome if we can add a note about Fedora Join on wcidff
too. I'd opened a ticket long ago here already:
https://github.com/fedo
ra-infra/asknot-ng/issues/75
Are there any other channels that we can use to make ourselves more
visible outside the community?
Other stuff
###########
Here are some other things we've discussed in the past. Please feel
free to add more, and chime in with your views (start new threads
too!). Think of these as ideas for the long term?
- - Mentoring
I think a lot of us want to bring this back, but we're still to settle
on how we'd match newbies to mentors and so on. Keeping in mind that
mentoring existed before and died out, it'll be nice if we can come up
with a sustainable process. An important part of this is ensuring that
we constantly have new newbies and new mentors coming in so that the
overall numbers remain constant from cycle to cycle, year to year.
- - Web stuff (requires input from the websites and design teams, at
least)
I still think a nice web overview of the community would give people
outside the community a good insight into our interactions, and in
turn, this would make it easier for them to join us. What do folks
think of modifying
fedoracommunity.org to depict the community in
different views:
- - by roles
- - by teams
- - by region
At the moment, it feels like it's limited to ambassadors only, and only
serves to collect regional websites.
(I suggest modifying
fedoracommunity.org instead of setting up a new
join.fp.o as before because the general feeling in the community seems
to be that we already have too many web resources and any more are
either surplus or unmanageable.)
- - Classrooms
Anyone for bringing these back? They were great to get folks started (I
started contributing through a font packaging classroom session
myself!).
So, what do we do next?
########################
It'll be great if we can discuss these on the ML to begin with, and
then follow the usual "ticket-meeting-task-repeat" system over pagure?
