It +</I>><i> seems like the community I knew as "Mandriva" is now named "Mageia", and the +</I>><i> demise of the Mandriva distribution as I grew to know it makes me think about +</I>><i> how to take more part in making sure it survives. +</I>><i> +</I> +That probably applies to most of us here. Any contribution you are +willing to make is very welcome. + +><i> I'm a family, working man with young children. I support free, open source in +</I>><i> various capacities, but one would probably not call them prolific. One more +</I>><i> visible contribution is via the <A HREF="http://sourceforge.net/projects/crossfire/">http://sourceforge.net/projects/crossfire/</A> +</I>><i> team. I tend to work in spurts, and sometimes real life takes me away from +</I>><i> these side areas of interest. +</I>><i> +</I>><i> I tended to think that probably official distribution support teams were more +</I>><i> likely to want people that could consistently pour significant time into +</I>><i> things, but a #mageia-social / #mageia IRC user said that should not stop me +</I>><i> from looking into it further. +</I>><i> +</I> +As I understand it, all teams have contributors who aren't always available. +The intensive contributors are much more noticeable, and essential to +Mageia, but every contributor is appreciated. + +><i> Are any team members interested in giving feedback about whether they see +</I>><i> benefit in incorporating light contributors or not? +</I>><i> +</I>><i> After looking over the teams, specifically it seems that the documentation +</I>><i> team and packaging teams could fit my core skills. It occurs to me that the +</I>><i> documentation team might be more amenable to light contribution than a +</I>><i> packaging team, but I don't know. +</I>><i> +</I> +That is true. A lot of little improvements could be made, just a few +minutes at a time. +><i> Some challenges are that I am in the USA and it seems that meetings on IRC +</I>><i> tend to happen at a UTC time when I cannot participate. I contribute to local +</I>><i> organizations on a weekly basis, so its not like this would be a primary time +</I>><i> contribution outside of often extended working hours. +</I>><i> +</I> +That does affect contributors not close to European time zones, but most +important contributions probably happen via the mailing lists. We have +very intensive contributors in the Americas and eastern Asia. + +><i> I guess once I get a sense for whether it is reasonable to approach teams I +</I>><i> could go into more detail about what I can do. +</I>><i> +</I>><i> What do you (team leaders/members) think? Do you appreciate all the help you +</I>><i> get, +</I> +I can't speak for everyone, but I think that most if not all teams would +say YES. + +><i> or do you need more of the kind of resource where you can make regular, +</I>><i> specific sorts of assignments that get done promptly. Do you expect team +</I>><i> members to be ready to work anytime, or do teams have things to do that can +</I>><i> sustain more flexibility? +</I>><i> +</I> +Regular contribution is more important for teams like the bug squad, for +example, but even there occasional contributors are appreciated. + +So welcome abord and don't hesitate to contribute where you feel useful :) +><i> kbulgrien on IRC +</I>><i> +</I>><i> +</I>-- +André + +</PRE> + + + + + + + +<!--endarticle--> + <HR> + <P><UL> + <!--threads--> + <LI>Previous message: <A HREF="006584.html">[Mageia-discuss] Team Membership Query +</A></li> + <LI>Next message: <A HREF="006586.html">[Mageia-discuss] Team Membership Query +</A></li> + <LI> <B>Messages sorted by:</B> + <a href="date.html#6585">[ date ]</a> + <a href="thread.html#6585">[ thread ]</a> + <a href="subject.html#6585">[ subject ]</a> + <a href="author.html#6585">[ author ]</a> + </LI> + </UL> + +<hr> +<a href="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-discuss">More information about the Mageia-discuss +mailing list</a><br> +</body></html> |
