<PRE>
OK, here are a few thoughts (consider them my planks for running if you
like, even though that's not my intent). I see a lot of lurkers, and a
decent amount of people who want to join in Mageia but seem to be a
little timid. I think we are attracting many first time contributors -
which is awesome!! But Maybe a bit more hand holding or other
infrastructure would work.
For example, when I joined the packaging team I was welcomed with open
arms, given a mentor, and several places to go to ask questions. It was
in a word, friggin sweet (ok that's 2 words)!
My point in all of this is I'd love to see something that gives the
average user an "foot in the door" to working within Mageia. As much as
I hate to admit it, this is one thing Ubuntu and to a lesser extent
Fedora do very well.
This is the total brainstorming part but maybe it will get the ball
rolling. Why not a mageia-users team/council seat? Marketing of the
viral kind would be amazing for us, and who better to do that than
excited and enthusiastic users? I'm not talking any pay for membership
thing, but for a user to say, my application was accepted to the
mageia-users team means something to many people. I don't pretend that
any of these ideas are particularly good, but just some thinking I've
been doing about bridging the gap between dev/teams/ and community.
I'd love to hear ideas and thoughts on this. With Mga 2 coming up, I'd
love to see us making a splash with something more than just download
and visit the forum once in awhile.
Thanks!
Josh
