Hi everyone,

We had a really good meeting today. We managed do some work on
restarting the mentorship programme - agreeing on what we think a
mentor is, and what the aims of the mentorship programme itself are.

Complete meeting logs are here:

A short summary:

What do we mean by a community mentor?
- ---------------------------------------

https://pagure.io/fedora-join/Fedora-Join/issue/26

In short, we agreed that a community mentor is not a classic school
teacher type guide. Rather, it's a friendly community colleague who is
an experienced Fedora volunteer skilled in certain (or many) areas of
community work, and who volunteers to be the primary point of contact
to newer community members. Such community mentors will help newer
members when required in whatever ways they see fit - helping them find
information, teaching them processes or software, connecting them with
other members of the community, and so on.

What are the aims of the mentorship programe?
- ---------------------------------------------

https://pagure.io/fedora-join/Fedora-Join/issue/25

In short, the aim is to help newer community members learn and
integrate quicker by linking them to experienced community members. To
do this, among others, the mentorship program will:

- - encourage experienced + skilled community members to sign up as
community mentors

- - set up and maintain the processes + infrastructure required to manage
community mentors:
- - * addition of new mentors
- - * maintaining an up to date list of current mentors (and who they're
currently guiding)
- - * removal of mentors (due to inactivity, for example)
- - * track performance of mentors

- - set up the processes + infrastructure required to help community
members find mentors

Find/create new cool term for "community members"
- -------------------------------------------------

The rebranding would help relaunch the project. Something that a theme
can be built around would be nice? There are some suggestions on the
ticket, please add yours too.

Master tracker ticket
- ---------------------

https://pagure.io/fedora-join/Fedora-Join/issue/18

I've converted this into the master tracker ticket. Next time we meet,
we'll work on each of the duties of the mentorship programme to come up
with the actual workflows/infrastructure.

As always, your input is always welcome! Please either comment on the
tickets on the trac or here on the ML itself.

Hi Ankur,

Sorry I couldn't make it for the meeting as I was organizing a CTF event.
Will catch up soon on the tickets :)
