Re: [Ambassadors] Discussion: revoking ambassador status

I think we can all agree that this idea make perfect sense! -----Original Message----- From: "Jiri Eischmann" <eischmann(a)redhat.com> Sent: ‎3/‎11/‎2014 14:07 To: "ambassadors(a)lists.fedoraproject.org" <ambassadors(a)lists.fedoraproject.org> Subject: Re: [Ambassadors] Discussion: revoking ambassador status Jiri Eischmann píše v Út 25. 02. 2014 v 11:07 +0100: > Hi, > yesterday we had a long discussion about whether we want to have a > mechanism to remove completely inactive ambassadors or not.

You input is welcome. > > Jiri Hi, I'm bringing an update on this issue. Based on the discussion in this mailing list and in the ticket, we decided that any manual process for removing "inactive" ambassadors is a no-go. Pingou of Fedora Infra offered us a tool that would help us achieve what we originally wanted to achieve. The combination of FAS logs and datagrepper (that covers attending IRC meetings, using tracs, sending emails to mailing lists, voting in Fedora elections, writing blogposts in FP,...) can identify ambassadors who haven't had any sign of online activity for the given time period (in FAmSCo we agreed on 18 months, but it's still open) and may not be interested in the project any more. Those ambassadors would be notified by email that their account is going to be flagged as inactive in e.g. 14 days. To avoid it, they can just log in to FAS and they're fine for another 18 months. I'd like to emphasize that no one is going to lose ambassador membership. If someone meets the criteria and doesn't react to the notification message his/her account will just be flagged as inactive and his/her name won't be in the public list of ambassadors, but he/she will keep the membership and can become active again just by logging in to FAS and changing the status to active any time after the deadline. It's not meant to judge someone's activity, it's more like "we haven't seen you around online for some time, give us a wave if you're still interested in the project". In FAmSCo, we agreed this is a non-invasive solution with pretty much no additional bureaucracy that would solve the problem. But we'd again like to know your opinion.

Re: [Ambassadors] Event report for Fedora meetup @ Bangalore on 8th March, 2014
by Ratnadeep Debnath 08 Mar '14

08 Mar '14

Hi all, Finally, after a long time, we had a Fedora meetup today (March 8, 2014) in Bangalore at Red Hat's office in Bangalore. The attendees for the event were: - Anil Shah - Varun Shastry - Rejy M Cyriac - Ratnadeep Debnath - Sayan Chowdhury - Sarup Banskota Following is a summary of the discussions that took place in today's meetup: Fedora monthly meetup ================= We've decided to do a local Fedora meetup every month to discuss and act on reaching out to more and more people in and around the city to encourage usage of FOSS tools, Fedora and contributing back. FAD ==== Once in a while, we decided have FADs where fellow Fedora folks get together to share knowledge and hack on cool projects. Reach out to colleges ================ In a slow and steady manner, we'd go to colleges and local LUGs and conduct events and workshops to educate and inspire more people to contribute to FOSS and Fedora. Entry point for contributors ==================== We'd be working on creating the necessary tools to help newbies get started with contributing to Fedora very easily. This is inspired from http://www.whatcanidoformozilla.org/. Please feel free to drop your comments and opinions on the above topics discussed in today's meetup to help us do better job in evangelising Fedora and inspiring people to contribute. Regards, rtnpro -- Ratnadeep Debnath, https://www.waartaa.com GPG Fingerprint: 033C 8041 A0E9 CDBA 2E02 B785 2119 5486 F245 DFD6
