Ambassdor mentors Mentors are experienced ambassadors who can help you quickly become acclimated to the work expected of Ambassadors as well as ensuring that Ambassadors within Fedora do an acceptable job of representing Fedora Ref: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassadors_Joi n_choose_a_mentor
Share worload Avoid a single point of failure Reward with more recognition and responsibility Consistent with all the other groups where sponsors == mentors Some reasons
Changes Mentors open the tickets, process mentoring and also close them Mentors sponsor their own candidates Ref: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Ambassador_Can didate_Ticket_Management

Mentoring strategies are different between mentors and regions but we have the same goal to take our candidates become *good* ambassadors So, we could have some common guidelines (NOT strict rules) Reasons
Provide and explain all necessary information to candidates Check if candidates read through all supplied information and understand them all Maintain a check list (no template) to ensure that candidates passed all required steps Support them to do their new job whenever they want/ask for Mentors
Provide and explain all necessary information to candidates Limit the acceptable candidates by mentoring time, mentor can fix the amount of mentees that he can carry IRC office hour $time periodically as necessary on #fedora-mentors Make IRC lessons with logged sessions - this gonna proof lot of things Mentors
Provide links from earlier activities within Fedora to your mentor Create personal wiki page Read through all supplied information Ask mentor any *dummy* questions Attend at least one regional IRC meeting Organize at least an event/activity or attend/help a few ones organized by others Candidates

Single static webpage (with FAS-OpenID login), single hub for mentors and approved mentees that publically provides structural and progress informations: active mentors, available slots, timing, monthly office hour by FAMA leader, running session, and status Provide an flyer for ambassadors, where we clearly define our quality line - what is that we awaiting from ambassadors, if someone wants to be Infra ideas
