Are the requests for mentoring in Africa not being adequately met? I mean, are the number of requests so great that more mentors are required? What is the criteria for becoming a mentor please?
If I am able to draw a crowd to fedora in my locality, does that qualify me to become a mentor -- or perhaps a proxy mentor????
Sounds like favoritism

Hi,
If they are both so experienced as you say, tell me why there are not already more Ambassdors in their countries, nobody has to be mentor to win new people.

HI,
I know that is not the right list to discuss mentors/mentoring problems, but I thought that as ambassadors opinion also matters to have more right people on board. The another reason is why I have targeted this list is that I haven't got any response on other mailing list since months. Simply I would like try to deal with language barriers and mentors coverage with the candidates. I know that english is mandatory, but how can you reach more skilled people if you doesn't allow that regions get strength? In EMEA, I would like to care with the Africa region a bit such way that keep active ambassadors there and let them build local communities there - and have mentors in between mentor to them as relay, as entry point if we want healthy African region - of course at least speaking arabic plus english. Also I see we don`t have spanish speaking mentor, that can also mean problems. Currently I think we don't have enough people, as few of them only limited to just for UK, or left/not active/long time inactive in EMEA.
Just read the current list of EMEA mentors, and the number 12 quickly shrinking to 4-6 people that only covers mostly EU, and that's all. But we don't have African mentor, and I think would help greatly to have both guys with the right permissions.

Is there is a process to understand the regions where aligning
more
mentor focus would derive benefits for Fedora?
I don't think having more mentors locally located is useful to
get
benefits; I think that more ambassadors locally located will lead benefits to the Project.
Don't be confused about the differences among mentors and
ambassadors.
As Robyduck said, this is not the right list for discussing
mentors
issues.
Thanks.
