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.
