Right now that message only goes out _after_ someone has actually been approved in the group. This is a common failing IMHO as well. Lots of users think that all they have to do is show up and apply in a group and they're in the team and the fact is that the account system is a side affect of being on a team, not the actual way to be on a team. Too often volunteers show up ready and willing to work but don't bother introducing themselves to the list or even showing up on IRC. I'm conflicted on how to feel about these people. We have a full documented system for Infrastructure on what the different fedora infrastructure groups do and how to get involved. Including actually CONTACTING a sponsor to try to convince them to sponsor you. How many people on this list have applied for some group and didn't get approved for that group? Why do you think that was? -Mike -- Fedora-websites-list mailing list Fedora-websites-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-websites-list
