awesome and I'd like to see more of it across Fedora, but I don't know how
we can demand it of every sub-team.
I'm not really sure how it currently works on other teams, but maybe we should have an ambassador assigned to every team? Maybe multiple ambassadors to accommodate several timezones per sub-team? Am I wrong in thinking that ambassadors should take up responsibility of a particular team for fixed days in a given timezone if they're going to become ambassadors? I understand people are only volunteers, but I feel not being guided by a human when starting out really puts off newcomers. It would be nice to have rosters of ambassadors/contributors mentoring newcomers at specific periods of time.
