Hi,

I know I have a later than normal response to this query - it fell victim to being buried in my inbox. Replies are in-line!

You are getting this email because you are in the 'fi-apprentice' group

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?


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 Batcave and cloned the Ansible repository to my home folder, but haven't done more than that on Batcave. I've explored some of the resources on the machine but haven't dug too deep there.

2. Has it helped you decide any area you wish to focus on or contribute
to more?


Yes, understanding a little more about how all of the infrastructure in Fedora is interlinked and connected helps make it easier to know what areas interest me or figure out things I'd like to pursue further.

In later weeks, I think I'd like to dive a little deeper into some of the sysadmin tasks for Badges.

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've looked through it, but I've mostly been focused on my GSoC project for contributing in the meanwhile.

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?


At the moment, there's nothing from me - I think the apprentice open floor at meetings is super helpful for any lingering questions or a time to get help on issues.

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 think it's probably finding tickets to start off with at first, but having easyfix tickets definitely helps guide with this.

7. Have you been able to make any weekly irc meetings? Do you find them
helpful or interesting?


Outside of a handful, yes, I've been idling and watching during recent meetings.

8. Have you logged into our Gobby instance and read/seen/added to our
meeting agenda? https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Gobby


I've logged in and added things before, but nothing recently.

9. when was the last plane trip you took?


August 6th was a lot of planes, a lot of flying, and a lot of sleeping. :) Traveling from Kraków back to Atlanta in the US.

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
