How +much time can he dedicate, how well does he know Mageia or other Linux +distro's, is he used to working with the command line, does he like to +read? + +Also, I know we don't have time to mentor people. However to make +things less hard for newcomers, would it be an idea to let them start +with doing reports about package requests or (if they have more Linux +experience) needinfo bugs? + +Or should we consider to *make* time for mentoring? + +WDYT? + + +-----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- +Version: GnuPG v1.4.12 (GNU/Linux) +Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - <A HREF="http://enigmail.mozdev.org/">http://enigmail.mozdev.org/</A> + +iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJQZEfAAAoJEKWubDMI5nEB6dMH/0OuvA0s+ie9DWuajT+jI6X1 +VIRBpIlUpiQg3LBrS98+Mg97xdAqwdmPUnDk5miZQwO2m0yL3LMKzQ4nq1tPPy8u +RwNB43WyVDfnmyb58W22reCSfMF7iHTiyt6XerCZykYmWypHVFF9lJpkLxoA3f6P +MXBK3wz2mZ9L207n7bNeCLRaz0A4m6A+4mWhQkD3w6Gl1hQ0ssZZ/nNmB35erfE/ +7PVIYk4Ya5GmKTVOAprnzdGCdRZbrPsUncIsY7gCHnxHFq0cFFmsIewqF4nZfxgR +LQD/SMJUhubheZHQLWGpLxqSNX61UAFkSY0AE+tRKHFBgxJ4GTqw1roYFVbmphY= +=WQLN +-----END PGP SIGNATURE----- +</PRE> + + +<!--endarticle--> + <HR> + <P><UL> + <!--threads--> + <LI>Previous message: <A HREF="000171.html">[Mageia-bugsquad] [Mageia-sysadm] Bugzilla: NEEDDATA tag on whiteboard? +</A></li> + <LI>Next message: <A HREF="000173.html">[Mageia-bugsquad] all the new bug squad members we are going to have +</A></li> + <LI> <B>Messages sorted by:</B> + <a href="date.html#172">[ date ]</a> + <a href="thread.html#172">[ thread ]</a> + <a href="subject.html#172">[ subject ]</a> + <a href="author.html#172">[ author ]</a> + </LI> + </UL> + +<hr> +<a href="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-bugsquad">More information about the Mageia-bugsquad +mailing list</a><br> +</body></html> |
