Ambassador Welcome Team
As discussed here, let's have an Ambassador Welcoming Team consisting of some active openSUSE ambassadors and I nominated one from US/Europe, one from Asiapacific and one from South America: * Kostas Koudaras * Manu Gubta * Carlos Ribeiro I will setup an email address (ambassador-welcome@opensuse.org ) to reach the team so that new ambassadors can contact them. The goal of the team is to welcome new ambassadors, inform them about the project and ambassadors, add them to the ambassador list and bring each new ambassador together with a more experienced ambassador that mentors the new ambassador. I'm glad that so many people stepped up and wanted to join the team. I think a small team will get the job done and I encourage the others that volunteered to start as mentors for new ambassadors - and suggest you all discuss how mentoring can work best. Btw. the page of the Welcome Team is: http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Ambassador_kit I apologize that it took me so long to answer to all of this, the last week was more hectic than I expected ;-( - and it showed that we really need a team handling this instead of single point of failure (like me;( ), Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger, Program Manager openSUSE, aj@{novell.com,opensuse.org} Twitter: jaegerandi | Identica: jaegerandi SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-ambassadors+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-ambassadors+help@opensuse.org

I think this is an awesome solution to the problem: a small team to welcome them and couple the newcomers with a personal (local!) mentor who then has to guide him/her through the exciting world of openSUSE :D We have plenty of potential mentors, including pretty much everyone who offered to be on the welcoming team and that's a good thing. I think it's very nice for new ambassadors to have a personal contact so the mentoring is very important! Big +100 on this, AJ! And thanks to Kostas, Manu and Carlos on volunteering for this. I know you guys will do great! Cheers, Jos
I've edited the wiki pages to use the new ambassador-welcome address now and I also started going through my INBOX and answered those people that I haven't answered with the new team in CC so that they can start right away. I have some messages from new ambassadors in my INBOX that I will answer over the next few days - Steban was the first of those few in my INBOX. Looking through my INBOX, I'm grateful that others take over this responsibility now ;) Cheers, AJ -- Andreas Jaeger, Program Manager openSUSE, aj@{novell.com,opensuse.org} Twitter: jaegerandi | Identica: jaegerandi SUSE LINUX Products GmbH, GF: Markus Rex, HRB 16746 (AG Nürnberg) Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nürnberg, Germany GPG fingerprint = 93A3 365E CE47 B889 DF7F FED1 389A 563C C272 A126 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-ambassadors+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-ambassadors+help@opensuse.org
As I said before, I will not disappoint! I'm working on projects for openSUSE Edu-Life in conjunction with the town of my city for the new year. :) Thanks for all! -----Mensagem Original----- From: Andreas Jaeger Sent: Wednesday, December 01, 2010 11:34 AM To: opensuse-ambassadors@opensuse.org Subject: [Bulk] Re: [opensuse-ambassadors] Ambassador Welcome Team I've edited the wiki pages to use the new ambassador-welcome address now and I also started going through my INBOX and answered those people that I haven't answered with the new team in CC so that they can start right away.
