I was considering if we really need newcomers to send introductions as part of the welcome to Fedora process to a specific mailing list or forum at all. Folks can just do it on the ticket (most already do), and then once they find where in Fedora they want to start, we usually ask them to introduce themselves on the specific communication channel. The current template was already modified to say this, and can be further tweaked to say "a list" instead of "the list" etc.: "Next, when you're ready, could you please introduce yourself (preferably on the list) so that the community can get to know you? (interests, skills, anything you wish to say about yourself really)" I continue to worry about moving the Fedora Join channel to Discourse because of the lack of separation between the communication channels for different teams there. The whole point of having a separate one for Fedora Join is to keep it isolated and away from the confusing jumble that is the Fedora community. Having a different category or tag just doesn't cut it. All the content there will still spook newcomers. So my worry is that by moving this to Discourse, we become another channel in the jumble there and no longer function as a protected area for newcomers. :/ -- Thanks, Regards, Ankur Sinha "FranciscoD" (He / Him / His) | https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Ankursinha Time zone: Europe/London
