March 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. Whats your favorite type of pet?

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!

Yes, a bit of it.

I have looked at it. I have some plans to work on the tickets.
At present I am trying to be a packager with my first package waiting to be
reviewed.

Not as such.

At times it is difficult to get started with some projects. There are a
relatively few easyfix tickets.

Hi Kevin,

0. Whats your fedora account system login?

intrk

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?

Not yet, I joined a couple of days ago and haven't had the time yet.

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 took a quick look, will need some times to familiarize myself with the
systems before I can start working on tickets I think.

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, please.

Best regards,
Boyko

Sorry for late reply, but I've been on vacation:

Yes and yes.

No, I already knew what I'm interested in before becoming apprentice.

No, due to lack of time.

>

Yes, I do.
> Is there any help or communication or ideas you have that would help

No, I can't think of anything.

In most cases fi-apprentice membership doesn't give enough permission to
work on particular problem. Most fixes are done by playbook changes and
it would be good if apprentices could at least run "ansible-playbook -C"
on their changed playbook before proposing patch. Another thing is no
access to machines of interest (like koji).

Yes, I either passively participate in the meeting or read logs
afterwards. They are definitely useful.
