Ambassadors/Mentors Survey Summary

What were your expectations when you signed up to become a mentor?

• give guidance and help
• teach people on our tools
• improve the quality performance of new Ambassadors
• find and encourage the future leaders

How much of these have been met in the current form of the mentor-candidate relationship?

• all of them
• some good relationships - and some just protocol
• not much - because Candidates are not fit enough

Do Mentors have enough feedback on the accountability and transparency of the system with https://fedorahosted.org/fama/?

• yes enough Feedback
• FAmA Trac provides the Transparency
• No - more Infos should be required from the Candidate before he is allowed to contact the Mentor
• Update the Infos around that instance

Do you consider the need for any tooling to help with this workflow (Memberhsip Wizard was a big improvement!)?

• No need for more tooling
• human contact over tooling
• standard mentor requirements
• have a "goal" and a wikipage as a requirement before contacting the Mentor

Do we need higher entry barriers for Ambassadors (examples: requiring some time in the Fedora Project, CLA+1, proven work on tasks)?

• not necessarily - it is important what the contributor can become
• process must be more streamlined
• not sure - there are good pro and cons
• Yes

We had discussion on Mentors who were proposed as a Mentor without running a single Event before, do we need more entry requirements for Ambassador Mentors?

• 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"

Do you think the Mentoring Process[1] is clear enough?

• yes
• freedom to the mentors is good - but uneven
• yes, but in some parts outdated

Do you feel that your Region is well enough covered with Mentors?

• EMEA: Yes
• NA: Yes
• APAC: One needed for India(has one more since 2 weeks) and one ore two more for China
• LATAM: One more needed for Brazil

Should Mentors meet? If yes, how often?

• Yes
• Once a month

Do you think Ambassadors Mentoring brought quality improvement to the Ambassadors Group?

• Yes
• provide Mentoring to people who are already Ambassadors

Can you think of any other improvements/suggestions we should focus in the future to have better Membership experience?

• Leveling System
• longer "find a mentor period" to 21 Days
• Streamlining the Process to prefilter Candidates who never will make a Wikipage or have no goals
• more common requirements from Mentors
