#326 [Lightning] Fedora Onboarding: Streamlining the newcomer's experience
Closed: Talk Scheduled 2 years ago by riecatnor. Opened 2 years ago by jskladan.

= What is your proposal

At the moment we have tons of awesome, and helpful documents, tools, and processes, which can be hard to reach/understand without some preliminary knowledge. We identified this as the major obstacle in bootstrapping new members of the community.

Our goal is making the learning curve less steep.

We came up with a concept of "activities" - tasks that can be performed while taking part in Fedora processes. The activities integrate the "expert knowledge", and data from various sources, enhancing the "raw information" and presenting it in the form of comprehensive steps to take in an wizard-like fashion.

We'd like to show how we pushed the tool from the initial implementation, and highlight the results we managed to accomplish in cooperation with the Outreachy internship program.

= Target audience

Members of various teams and working groups in Fedora. Ideally those that have already identified some on-boarding-related activities, or tasks given to new team members, which at the same time benefit from another person "guiding" you through the decision making (like "what should I put into the bugreport", "where should I look for the latest compose"...)

= List each person by their name and FAS ID

Lukáš Brabec (lbrabec)
Josef Skládanka (jskladan)

= This is a

Lightning Talk

= Anything else we need to know?

We prefer a pre-recorded session with in-person Q&A afterwards.

= Who are you?

Name: Lukáš Brabec
FAS ID: lbrabec
Timezone: Prague (GMT+2)
Availability for August 5-8th: 5-6th


Hi @jskladan & @lbrabec - Thank you for your submission!

Unfortunately we did not receive many submissions for lightning talks, but we are working on fitting this in.

In the meantime please register for Nest with Fedora on Hopin at the following link. If we can fit this in, I will need to add you both as speakers for the session in the Hopin admin dashboard.

If you have further questions or need assistance, feel free to email mnordin@redhat.com or drop those inquiries on this ticket. Thanks!

@riecatnor I spoke to both of them and it seems, we can have this in the last 10 odd mins of QA in nutshell. So, would you be reorganizing the schedule or should I add them as a speaker in my talk?

Hi @sumantrom @jskladan @lbrabec - if everyone is cool with it, I will add everyone to the QA in a nutshell session. If you want to do a pre-recorded video for this part, that is fine, please let me know as I need to customize the Hopin session. If you need to toggle to a YouTube video during the session, here is some info on what to expect: https://hopin.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/360056080452-How-to-use-YouTube-Sharing-in-Sessions

Edit: I added everyone to the QA in a nutshell session.

Sorry for late reply, yes I plan to create pre-recorded video.
