September status update for Fedora Infrastructure Apprentices

[Kevin Fenzi]

Greetings.

You are getting this email because you are in the 'fi-apprentice' group
in the fedora account system (or are reading this on the
infrastructure list). 

Feel free to reply just directly to me, or cc the infrastructure list
for everyone to see and comment on. 

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Infrastructure_Apprentice

At the first of every month(or so), I am going to be sending out an
email like this one. I would like feedback on how things are going for
you.

I'd like to ask for everyone to send me a quick reply with the
following data or anything related you can think of that might help us
make the apprentice program more useful. 

0. Whats your fedora account system login?

1. Have you logged in and used your fi-apprentice membership to look at
our machines/setup in the last month? Do you plan to?

2. Has it helped you decide any area you wish to focus on or contribute
to more?

3. Have you looked at or been able to work on any of the fi-apprentice
'easyfix' tickets?
https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-infrastructure/report/14

4. Do you still wish to be a member of the group? If not (for whatever
reason) could you provide any hints to help others down the road?

5. Is there any help or communication or ideas you have that would help
you do any of the above?

6. What do you find to be the hardest part of getting involved?
Finding things to work on? Getting attention from others to help you?
Finding tickets in your interest area? 

7. Have you been able to make any weekly irc meetings? Do you find them
helpful or interesting? 

8. What is your favorite book of all time? :)  

Any other general feedback is also quite welcome, including
improvements to this email, the wiki page, etc.

Any folks I do not hear from in the next week will be removed from the
group. (Note that it's easy to be readded when you have time or
whatever and it's nothing at all personal, we just want to keep the
group up to date with active folks).

Thanks, and looking forward to your feedback!

  0. Whats your fedora account system login?

It is neldogz.

  1. Have you logged in and used your fi-apprentice membership to look at
  our machines/setup in the last month? Do you plan to?

Yes, I logged into lockbox01.phx2.fedoraproject.org to attempt to look 
at a service that was flagged as flapping within Nagios.

  2. Has it helped you decide any area you wish to focus on or contribute
  to more?

I would like to contribute to systems monitoring, documentation and 
ultimately systems provisioning, backups and administration.

  3. Have you looked at or been able to work on any of the fi-apprentice
  'easyfix' tickets?
  https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-infrastructure/report/14

I looked at the easyfix tickets however there are none where my 
skill-set would allow me to contribute at this time.

  4. Do you still wish to be a member of the group? If not (for whatever
  reason) could you provide any hints to help others down the road?

Yes I would like to remain a member.

  5. Is there any help or communication or ideas you have that would help
  you do any of the above?

None at this time.

  6. What do you find to be the hardest part of getting involved?
  Finding things to work on? Getting attention from others to help you?
  Finding tickets in your interest area?

Finding things to work on that match my skill-set.

  7. Have you been able to make any weekly irc meetings? Do you find them
  helpful or interesting?

I attended the meeting last Thursday and found it to be a great 
collaborative experience.

  8. What is your favorite book of all time? :)

I already found some things that interest to me, but I'm a little confused
on how to really help.
Maybe I should interact more on IRC channels and ask for advice there.

Yes, I attended the last two meetings and it helped me to join the
apprentice group and
where to find out what to read and to do.

I have looked at some, but
I ended up creating and working on a ticket 
for nagios/noc openid issues ( 
https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-infrastructure/ticket/4479 )

Yes

Nope.  I'm no longer on vacation so I just need to
talk with puiterwijk 
on the solution.

>  Finding tickets in your interest area? 
Finding things to work on that already exist
as a ticket.  Tickets seem 
to either be too broad (not enough detail), or appear to already be 
worked on...  A specific interest area also narrows that scope down greatly.

Not sure...probably a programming one
of some sort ;)
