some feedback from blog

[Nelson Marques]

Hi,

I've got some interesting feedback from a blog post I've made. Some in
portuguese and got some valid information from people who would like to
package stuff for fedora :)

One of the things pointed was that people would like to have some
guidance and help from someone, like a tutor.

I don't feel like writing more complex marketing documents for this to
present... So I'm available to try and establish a bridge here if
needed.

Would it be in the interest of Fedora Project that some work would be
developed in this field? Like a strategical tutorship plan for new
comers?

The most advanced mentor-ship program is for ambassadors. Ambassadors
should know the project to help as bridges. In other words, point
people in the right direction within the Fedora project.

The usual way for becoming packager is to look for a package that one
person like and join the team that maintain that package. I guess that
you can look directly for http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FESCo is some
one want to bring a new package to Fedora. But that route is less
frequent.

Hope my lines helps you.
