So finding a mentor also supposes that potential mentors see +(repeatedly) your will to participate. That's why coming to talk on IRC, +(notably #mageia-mentoring where we can help you learn the first steps of +packaging, even without a mentor), filling bugs or commenting on them, writing +to the mailing-list (even if it's just a reminder that you are looking for a +mentor) are all things that will make you known by the community and find a mentor. +In a way, you message is the illustration of what you should do (although the +long message you wrote is not that necessary :-) ). + +BTW, I can be your mentor if you're motivated and don't mind using IRC :-). + +Cheers, +-- +Malo +<A HREF="http://www.doc.ic.ac.uk/~malo/">http://www.doc.ic.ac.uk/~malo/</A> +</PRE> + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +<!--endarticle--> + <HR> + <P><UL> + <!--threads--> + <LI>Previous message: <A HREF="011988.html">[Mageia-dev] In need of a mentor +</A></li> + <LI>Next message: <A HREF="012011.html">[Mageia-dev] In need of a mentor +</A></li> + <LI> <B>Messages sorted by:</B> + <a href="date.html#11992">[ date ]</a> + <a href="thread.html#11992">[ thread ]</a> + <a href="subject.html#11992">[ subject ]</a> + <a href="author.html#11992">[ author ]</a> + </LI> + </UL> + +<hr> +<a href="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-dev">More information about the Mageia-dev +mailing list</a><br> +</body></html> |
