I don't know if this should be in this mailing list but if not please point me to where it should be. Now everyone knows that the more people help out whether thats packaging or coding or even in the marketing section the better Fedora will be. I just was browsing around thinking about this and I came across a debian How you can help page. Reading through it to see how the other camp deal with growing the contributors to the overall OS I noticed they have several mailing lists. Now I know I know we have mailing lists as well. However they have a mailing list called debian-mentors now for me I was surprised. I personally have spent numerous days learning how to build rpm's as well as trying to follow the fedora package naming and layout conventions and I thought wouldn't that be a great idea. If someone is interested in learning provided they don't waste peoples time by actually WANTING to contribute maybe a mentors list go get them from a newbie/basic contributor to an active member of the support/devel crew. If and I specify if people are willing to mentor couldn't we grow the contributors in that way. I say marketing because in the process of growing the contributors we could grow the marketing by saying we need you to help make this OS better and here's how you can learn to help. I saw it happen with the bugs people (bad way to describe it) in Fedora marketing that they need bugs people, wouldn't it be more logical in promoting a common location and advertising the fact of who's helping out. It might be a great way of getting more people involved. I don't know if its feasible I'm just throwing ideas out there. -- Regards Marc Wiriadisastra -- Fedora-marketing-list mailing list Fedora-marketing-list@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-marketing-list
