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. What is your favorite programming or scripting language? :) 

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 and yes.

Yes

No, not at this time.

Not exactly sure how much work it would be
but might be worthwhile
marking tickets as "requries priv access" or something similar.  As
there are only 5 tickets not assigned to someone, it might give others
an opportunity to narrow down the list of some harder tickets they can
sink their teeth into.

Yes, and yes.  I find it really good in helping understand
how systems
work together.  I've picked up quite a bit of this just by "listening"
to the conversations during the meetings.

Haha, Python

Not really, I just keep sending patches and pull-requests as needed.

Timezone differences.

Nope, see previous question/answer.

I looked at them, and intended to tackle the DNS update ticket, but as 
always, life got in the way. I'll try harder in March - I have Spring 
Break to play with.

Yes, I do.

None that I can think of.

not in the past couple of weeks. I forget them this semester because I
have class during them, but I will try to attend this week.
