Ambassadors/Mentors Survey

Place to collect the results from the Mentors Survey

What were your expectations when you signed up to become a mentor?

I had no expectations. Actually, I didn't even expect to become a mentor, you surprised me when you proposed my candidacy :)

I expected to give guidance to those who wanted to become Fedora Ambassadors. That was really the only thing that I expected -- as far as the people involved, I expected everyone to act professionally and with courtesy, and everyone has acted that way. As for the people I mentor, most have been enthusiastic and informed about Fedora, which has been a plus.

When I signed up to be a mentor my understanding is that I'm going to contribute by helping applicants gain the necessary knowledge to use the tools Ambassadors use. When I started out in Ambassadors, I had a long time figuring out things that to me now look very simple.
- Another expectation was to know more Ambassadors. By being a mentor, applicants would need to talk to me and for me that's fun. It's not everyday you can talk to a Fedora Ambassador you haven't worked with in the past.
- An additional bonus is that I mostly work with guys from APAC - for me that's an added motivation. When I started in Ambassadors, we're just a handful who attends regional meetings, writes on the mailing list, etc. It brings a good feeling when you come across someone you mentored in one of those meetings, make you feel proud.

Nothing as such. But I expected to guide a few more people into the group and subsequent leadership positions.

My expectation were to help Ambassador Team and help new people intro contributors.

to improve the knowledge and experience of new Fedora Ambassadors. Or with other words: Quality instead of quantity.

All of them.
Pretty much everything is spot on.
Not much. We have not found many candidates who are willing and/or fit to get into the positions.
I feel that I have create good relationship with some new ambassadors, and for others was just protocol.
All

Well, sometimes I'm not really sure if I'm doing the right thing, but apparently you never said I wasn't, so I guess I have enough feedback and everything's fine. :)
I think so. Although if there's a way to make it more open and transparent, I wouldn't object (but I don't know what that might be).
When people use the system, we have enough. When we don't, awkward situations arise.
I am unable to answer this because I am one of the admins. But I think I am pretty satisfied with the transparency.
Yes, I think that there is enough detail to know what is going on which each application.
Yes - but I've to add, that the information in the trac (except for the tickets) are partially outdated, deprecated or obsolete. They should maybe get an update to reflect current things.
