2025-03-06 16:12:23 <@jonatoni:fedora.im> any preference on which tickets you want to discuss? I was thinking about #53 and #51 
2025-03-06 16:12:32 <@jonatoni:fedora.im> any other suggestions?
2025-03-06 16:12:42 <@jonatoni:fedora.im> #53 is about Fedora Mentor Summit
2025-03-06 16:13:04 <@jonatoni:fedora.im> and #51 is about social calls ideas
2025-03-06 16:14:49 <@jonatoni:fedora.im> Emma Kidney Robert Wright (he/him) misc Amita Sharma 
2025-03-06 16:15:10 <@rwright:fedora.im> I'm open for either. Would like to know more about hte mentor summit.
2025-03-06 16:15:17 <@ekidney:matrix.org> I think the mentor summit would be good to talk about 
2025-03-06 16:16:03 <@jonatoni:fedora.im> awesome, let's start with #53 then 
2025-03-06 16:16:21 <@ami117:matrix.org> yes

2025-03-06 16:16:55 <@jonatoni:fedora.im> !link https://gitlab.com/fedora/dei/home/-/issues/53
2025-03-06 16:17:56 <@jonatoni:fedora.im> a few weeks ago I was discussing with Justin on what we could do for Fedora Mentor Summit and we came up with 3 main ideas
2025-03-06 16:18:15 <@jonatoni:fedora.im> Mentor/Mentee Lunch Matching, Social Networking @ Evening Social, Contributor recognition event
2025-03-06 16:18:47 <@jonatoni:fedora.im> we have seen similar things in other projects/communities and we would to see this happening at Flock too
2025-03-06 16:19:18 <@jonatoni:fedora.im> I suggest checking Justin's comment for each idea to get more context/information
2025-03-06 16:19:37 <@ami117:matrix.org> these sounds interesting
2025-03-06 16:19:37 <@ekidney:matrix.org> So would this be instead of how is was done last year 
2025-03-06 16:19:49 <@ekidney:matrix.org> So would this be instead of how it was done last year 
2025-03-06 16:20:07 <@ami117:matrix.org> we may need to do some activities for Contributor recognition event to prepare ?
2025-03-06 16:20:22 <@jonatoni:fedora.im> we didn't get many applications for FMS this year - I think maybe around 3
2025-03-06 16:20:58 <@jonatoni:fedora.im> so instead of pushing for more proposals - we thought of focusing our energies only on 3 things
2025-03-06 16:21:45 <@jonatoni:fedora.im> I did reach out to people that expressed interest in helping with FMS (at Flock's survey form) to see who is interested in helping with these ideas
2025-03-06 16:22:14 <@jonatoni:fedora.im> Emma Kidney: I hope I answered the question 😅
2025-03-06 16:22:36 <@jonatoni:fedora.im> Amita Sharma: yes, that's why I have reached out to people to see who wants to help
2025-03-06 16:23:02 <@ekidney:matrix.org> you did! I think thats a good approach - it could have more of an impact being more social 
2025-03-06 16:23:26 <@jonatoni:fedora.im> if any of you wants to help as well, let me know - and I will create a meeting so we can discuss in more detail what we want to do, and divide the work
2025-03-06 16:24:13 <@rwright:fedora.im> I keep thinking and then I retract.
2025-03-06 16:24:49 <@rwright:fedora.im> So - my mind is drifitng back to CommOps around New Contributor support (getting folks to Join SIG, etc etc)
2025-03-06 16:24:59 <@rwright:fedora.im> And how the Mentor program has such a strong ability to connect things in
2025-03-06 16:25:03 <@rwright:fedora.im> Like another funnel
2025-03-06 16:25:24 <@rwright:fedora.im> And I keep thinking - "jeez, how could we use this as a better place to teach people how to be better mentors to new folks in Fedora!"
2025-03-06 16:25:55 <@rwright:fedora.im> We have so many channels to do this type of activities - it would be good if it was just tied in or at least the pathway of how it connects is clear to see if we can get more participation!
2025-03-06 16:26:23 <@rwright:fedora.im> "Are you planning on meeting members of your package team or SIG? Come to Mentors Summit and learn how to better work together and build up!"
2025-03-06 16:26:41 <@rwright:fedora.im> So I am reading the 3 big ideas and trying to think about how it connects and where's a great tie in.
2025-03-06 16:26:48 <@rwright:fedora.im> That's why I keep typing and stopping lol
2025-03-06 16:27:37 <@jonatoni:fedora.im> I think the lunch networking could be one option for example 
2025-03-06 16:29:03 <@jonatoni:fedora.im> also the workshop from Marie and Smera last year was great 
2025-03-06 16:29:34 <@jonatoni:fedora.im> giving different examples on the mentor-mentee relationship and how to handle different scenarios 
2025-03-06 16:29:50 <@ami117:matrix.org> I can help if required
2025-03-06 16:30:35 <@jonatoni:fedora.im> awesome Amita Sharma, will count you in 🙂 
2025-03-06 16:31:15 <@jonatoni:fedora.im> tbh it's a topic that we could do so many things, that's why it was a bit hard to pick just 3 😅
2025-03-06 16:31:29 <@rwright:fedora.im> OK - I mean it makes sense.
2025-03-06 16:31:38 <@rwright:fedora.im> I am going to see if we can use some CommOps energy to it. :)
2025-03-06 16:32:08 <@jonatoni:fedora.im> that would be awesome 🚀
2025-03-06 16:32:23 <@jonatoni:fedora.im> anything else we can add to this topic now?
2025-03-06 16:34:40 <@rwright:fedora.im> Nope - I will read the ticket.
2025-03-06 16:35:42 <@jonatoni:fedora.im> Okay, let's move to #51 since we didn't cover it last time
2025-03-06 16:36:16 <@jonatoni:fedora.im> !info This year we will focus on three things: Mentor/Mentee Lunch Matching, Social Networking @ Evening Social, Contributor recognition event

2025-03-06 16:38:36 <@ekidney:matrix.org> Sure - I commented some games I found that can be played in browser. I couldnt find much, a lot of sites require sign up or payment lol 
2025-03-06 16:39:20 <@ekidney:matrix.org> If anyone knows of anything else - feel free to add it to the list! 
2025-03-06 16:39:59 <@ekidney:matrix.org> We could look at scheduling a social call some time and try some out?
2025-03-06 16:40:26 <@jonatoni:fedora.im> that would be awesome 😍
2025-03-06 16:40:33 <@jonatoni:fedora.im> yes 💯
2025-03-06 16:41:11 <@jonatoni:fedora.im> which one should we pick first
2025-03-06 16:41:33 <@ekidney:matrix.org> garticphone is pretty fun!! 
2025-03-06 16:41:56 <@rwright:fedora.im> oh i've seen that on discord
2025-03-06 16:42:26 <@ekidney:matrix.org> I think we played it at release party some time ago too
2025-03-06 16:42:46 <@jonatoni:fedora.im> I'm up for it 😄 
2025-03-06 16:43:24 <@ekidney:matrix.org> would advertising it to the wider community be good or do we want to keep it for just the team? 
2025-03-06 16:44:17 <@jonatoni:fedora.im> I don't mind inviting other contributors too 
2025-03-06 16:44:43 <@ekidney:matrix.org> could be a fun way to recruit more members 😄 
2025-03-06 16:44:56 <@ekidney:matrix.org> show them how fun we are
2025-03-06 16:45:03 <@jonatoni:fedora.im> hah, I thought same thing 😄 
2025-03-06 16:46:21 <@rwright:fedora.im> More social things in Fedora is always a good thing :)
2025-03-06 16:46:25 <@jonatoni:fedora.im> Emma Kidney: do you want to propose same dates and then decide when we do it?
