[Mageia-dev] mentors + apprentices

Wed Nov 2 08:54:38 CET 2011

Hi everyone,
+
+We have a new packager, takashi, who has successfully mentored with jquelin.
+
+We now have 2 apprentice candidates with .rpm packaging experience, waiting for 
+a mentor.
+
+mcb30 (Michael Brown), who I introduced last week,
+is a longtime Mandrake/Mandriva and now Mageia user who has maintained several 
+private RPM repos, and while waiting for a mentor has been making spec files 
+for some python applications.
+
+We also have
+neocrust (Alexander Scherbakov),
+who has experience maintaining packages for openSuse and Lunar Linux, as well 
+as translating to Russion, and doing documentation with the Gentoo Russion team.
+
+You can find more details at:
+http://www.mageia.org/wiki/doku.php?id=packages_mentoring#packager_apprentice_candidates
+
+Mentors, let me know who you take on, and I'll update the tables for you.
+
+Thanks :-)
+
+----
+
+We now have 49 active packagers (maintaining at least one package), with 
+several who have yet to take a package.
+We currently have about 40 apprentices.
+Over 75% of packages have a maintainer.
+
+----
+
+Anyone else looking for a mentor, let me know so I can add your name as an 
+apprentice candidate -- or you can do it yourself.
