Greetings.
You are getting this email because you are in the 'fi-apprentice' group
in the fedora account system (or are reading this on the
infrastructure list).
Feel free to reply just directly to me, or cc the infrastructure list
for everyone to see and comment on.

At the first of every month(or so), I am going to be sending out an
email like this one. I would like feedback on how things are going for
you.
I'd like to ask for everyone to send me a quick reply with the
following data or anything related you can think of that might help us
make the apprentice program more useful.
0. Whats your fedora account system login?

1. Have you logged in and used your fi-apprentice membership to look at
our machines/setup in the last month? Do you plan to?
No, but I'll try tonight.
2. Has it helped you decide any area you wish to focus on or contribute
to more?
Despite not having logged in, my desire to contribute remains high.
There seems to be a lot more programming involved than I was expecting
though, so I've spent the last month trying to build up my Python chops.
3. Have you looked at or been able to work on any of the fi-apprentice
'easyfix' tickets?
https://fedorahosted.org/fedora-infrastructure/report/14
I have, but most seem to be beyond my ability at present or are already
being worked on.
4. Do you still wish to be a member of the group? If not (for whatever
reason) could you provide any hints to help others down the road?
Yes.
5. Is there any help or communication or ideas you have that would help
you do any of the above?
No, this group has made it very easy to get involved. I think I just
need to pick a ticket and make the plunge.
6. What do you find to be the hardest part of getting involved?
Finding things to work on? Getting attention from others to help you?
Finding tickets in your interest area?
I'm not an IT professional, so I think my expectations of a group like
this were a bit skewed. I just got my RHCSA last summer so I thought
there would be more responsibilities such as those covered in the exam,
e.g., managing users, groups, permissions, packages, processes, etc...
As I mentioned previously though, I'm hoping to contribute more as I
learn Python better.
7. Have you been able to make any weekly irc meetings? Do you find them
helpful or interesting?
I've only had the opportunity to attend one before the Holidays. I found
it interesting and plan to continue attending.
8. Whats your favorite work of art?
Hmm, not an artsy guy; I don't have one. Which is a shame considering my
daughter just finished her first semester at art college...
Any other general feedback is also quite welcome, including
improvements to this email, the wiki page, etc.
Any folks I do not hear from in the next week will be removed from the
group. (Note that it's easy to be readded when you have time or
whatever and it's nothing at all personal, we just want to keep the
group up to date with active folks).
Thanks, and looking forward to your feedback!
kevin
Thanks for following-up.
