It's settled then: there will be no "job description". Just the 16 pages booklet for "newbies" with information condensed to give them a jump start until they have time to read the wiki which is more comprehensive. <div class="gmail_quote">2009/3/1 Karsten Wade <<a href="mailto:kwade@redhat.com">kwade@redhat.com</a>> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> On Sun, Mar 01, 2009 at 10:47:51AM +0200, Ewan Luca wrote: > I understand the fear of being too strict about what an ambassador job > description should be.

I don't think these ideas are at odds. Rather than a job description, it could be, "Typical duties of an Ambassador," and the mentoring + guide can lead people in the door. We just want to avoid a strict description that locks in too little and leaves out too much. I know people are a great representatives of Fedora, but cannot or will not do the various steps to get the title. I'd rather see us be more inclusive without being too diluted. > Fedora wiki and all the community materials are a lot to be taken in by a > new contributor, and without a mentors program implemented it's even harder. > I liked the steps implemented for joining.

I personally dislike slide presentations for conveying depth of information -- they are naturally compressed compared to full paragraphs of content. - Karsten -- Karsten 'quaid' Wade, Community Gardener <a href="http://quaid.fedorapeople.org" target="_blank">http://quaid.fedorapeople.org</a> AD0E0C41 -- Fedora-ambassadors-list mailing list <a href="mailto:Fedora-ambassadors-list@redhat.com">Fedora-ambassadors-list@redhat.com</a> <a href="https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-ambassadors-list" target="_blank">https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-ambassadors-list</a> </blockquote></div>
