Hi all,
I revised my suggestion with no AJ as he instructed above :)
THIS IS THE MODIFIED NEW PROCESS (Suggestion ONLY)
Frank wants to join openSUSE as ambassador.
Frank reads the new procedure on the wiki.
Frank should sent an email to the list, noting his request, it is good the team can have people from different areas of the world, APAC etc ]
one from the team should contact Frank as they are available and asap and send the questioner to Frank PLUS that person should investigate the Frank's contribution/ commitment to openSUSE when Frank answers
Lets not investigate lets take him/her. My opinion because he may or may not have experience and would like to contribute
Frank answers to the question directly to the mentor plus the list PLUS answers to the additional info requested by the mentor.
Mentor should check the user page and other things after the he got answers.
The mentor should go through the questionnaire thoroughly and send the mentors recommendation to the list
Mentor send an email to opensuse-ambassadors and welcome Frank as new ambassador. Mentor send welcome pack to Frank.
Mentor add Frank as ambassador the the wiki list and adjust number of ambassadors/countries as appropriate.
AJ take care to ship him e.g. PromoDVDs.
** Frank can contact the mentor anytime and get needed info and the same time the mentor can guide him too. Cos i saw some inactive accounts, the inactive person should be monitored and make them work towards the openSUSE (i m nt talking about firing them). PLUS I assume the people join knows little about openSUSE, procedure and all. Therefore it is good if some one guide them and if they have no target assign targets by discussing with them, that would be really effective anyway. +1 I was not even firing them ;) But there are issues like how do we make them work and stuff like that.
Believe me I used UBUNTU and was converted to openSUSE once I became its ambassador and it has been my love since then ;)
Those modifications help to reduce work load on AJ plus ensure the correct person (having passion) is on the board.
Mentor is the person who manage the process(responsible) others also can join and improve the quality. This is not a one-man job :)
Thanks for reading the long mail :)
+1000 For not being a one job phew ;)
