Now that things have settled down a bit, I'd like to talk about some of the things I'm looking for out of the ombudsman post.
1) proactively solicits opinions of exiting podlings about their experiences in the form of interviews and surveys. 2) make anonymized results of (1) available to the IPMC on a regular basis. 3) provides advocacy and facilitates solutions for committers who report issues with their podling's mentors. That's pretty much it- what are your expectations for the ombudsman role?
