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. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Infrastructure_Apprentice 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?
FAS is jflory7.
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?
I've logged into Bastion and I am playing around with accessing other machines through it. I'm still getting a hang for things, but if I have questions, I'll be sure to ask in #fedora-admin.
2. Has it helped you decide any area you wish to focus on or contribute to more?
The fi-apprentice membership hasn't specifically, but I've cloned the ansible and infra-docs repos to my system and I'm going through those to learn some more about Fedora Infra. I'm specifically interested in the playbooks and I'm using some of those as a model for ones I plan to write for the Fedora Magazine and Community Blog in coming weeks.
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 haven't gone through these yet, but I will file a ticket soon for the tasks I am working on for my GSoC proposal.
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, absolutely. :)
5. Is there any help or communication or ideas you have that would help you do any of the above?
As of now, not yet but as I continue to read up on Ansible and look at the resources that already exist, I anticipate asking more questions soon.
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?
It can be a little overwhelming at first, but I've found that breaking things down into smaller tasks in Taskwarrior is making it easier to tackle. I like how open and accessible it is to get in touch with other members of the team.
7. Have you been able to make any weekly irc meetings? Do you find them helpful or interesting?
Last week was the first one I made since late April, but I so far, I have found them interesting and the learning talks at the end, especially with OpenID Connect, have been especially interesting so far.
8. Have you logged into our Gobby instance and read/seen/added to our meeting agenda? https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Gobby
Yes.
9. Is there any movies you are looking forward to in the coming year?
I'm actually not much of a movies / TV kind of person, so I haven't kept up with anything that's especially interesting to me. But I am much more keen on some new music coming out this year which I'm excited for. There's already been a lot of good releases this year so far for my specific tastes. :)
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
