I am Sumantro and I have been an intern at Red Hat working on tasks pertaining to Fedora QA.
During my on-boarding I observed that there is a lack of well designed content available to anyone who wants to get started. So, I put together a draft plan and discussed with Sudhir to begin work on this. The first part of the plan was to produce content ready for publication into Fedora Magazine and other sites :

During these planning and discussions, Sankarshan has also participated in providing feedback and helping me to fine tune the plans to ensure a good participation in the test day

At present I am working together with a small group on interested participants and we have regular sessions (at the office where I am based out of) to facilitate a better and faster route to getting meaningful contributions.
Other than this, my personal contribution include Release Validation testing [from Fedora 1.2 Alpha to 1.6 Beta and bunch of Nightlies] and Update Testing, taking charge of Test Days and hosting them ; at least once every month (gathering 40-50 testers each time),participating Cloud test day and i18n test day.
I believe that this opportunity has provided me with a good understanding of the Project, the vision and our specific approach to produce good software while being excellent to one another. I am interested in applying to the Fedora Ambassadors program because I believe that I can align my work and focus to continue the goals of the program itself.
I am looking forward to feedback and a possible connection with a mentor who can guide me.

Is anyone around to pick up this thread and run with it? I'd be happy to provide additional detail around the work.

You should start talking with the Fedora docs team on how to enrich our documentation.

I know about your work, but what is Fedora 1.2 Alpha or 1.6 Beta?

You can start by following [1], basically you will have to drop a mail to the mentor (for India this case it is /me). I will start the process, and we can discuss more about the same.

Before writing to the docs team, I wanted to start off with some content and put it up there and then care about writing to the docs team for enriching the same.

My bad , Its more like I wanted to state that I tested Fedora 24 1.2 Alpha to Fedora 24 1.6 Beta and a bunch of nighties. I have gone through the wiki link and replied to you off-list to request mentorship.
