=== Mentoring Survey ===
To improve the Ambassadors Mentoring Initiative we made a [[Ambassadors/Mentors_Survey | Survey]] among all Mentors and we will work with the input to improve the Process.
 
The expectations most Mentors had, were to:
* give guidance and help
* teach people on our tools
* improve the quality performance of new Ambassadors
* find and encourage the future leaders
 
these expectations met mostly for all - some were not so happy because the Candidate did not match the expectations and valuable time was invested on non-responsive candidates. Overall the Mentoring brought quality improvement to the Ambassador Group.
 
With the Tracking Instance - FAmA provides enough feedback on the accountability and transparency for the Process and there is no need for more tools to support the Process and the Process itself is clear enough!
 
Some Mentors have a wish for more common requirements - some other love to have the freedom to judge by human contact and instinct if the Candidate can become good Contributor to our Group or not.
 
Higher Barriers - like CLA+1 - as a requirement for the group - brought up some pro and con and a also the idea that a better workflow can help to pre-filter unresponsive Candidates.
 
The Process might be improved by a more streamlined workflow and a extended "find a mentor" period from 14 days to 21 days.
 
There was a range of answers what criteria should be considered for a new Mentor:
* no, only trust and judgement is needed
* no, because knowledged and experienced is stated already and therefore the requirement
* minimum time requirement in the group should be a "must"
* events experience is a "must"
 
NA and EMEA are Regions who are well covered with mentors - but APAC and LATAM need improvement!
 
Mentors meeting once a month was considered a good idea from most Mentors!

Basic FAmSCo activity

What is this section's purpose?
This section gives some quick health indicators about how much FAmSCo is communicating. Sometimes FAmSCo members can't make a meeting due to travel or conflicts with their $DAYJOB, but the combination of meeting attendance plus email is a nice metric.

FAmSCo meetings

FAmSCo held 2 meetings in August. Attendance was as follows:

  • 2 out of 2 -- Joerg, Maria, David
  • 1 out of 2 -- Max, Susmit
  • 0 out of 2 -- Luca

So far this year, FAmSCo has held 24 meetings. Overall attendance has been:

  • 24 out of 24 -- Joerg
  • 23 out of 24 -- Susmit
  • 20 out of 24 -- David, Maria
  • 17 out of 24 -- Max
  • 13 out of 24 -- Luca

Regional meetings

One of FAmSCo's goals this year is to make sure that at least one FAmSCo member is at each regional meeting that is held.

As of the time this report was prepared, 3 regional meetings held in August had been logged, all count with at least 1 FAmSCo member.

FAmSCo mailing list

FAmSco's mailing list received 62 messages this month, coordinating on some swag-related questions, and filling in conversation when we didn't have a meeting.

General accomplishments or decisions
