[Mageia-dev] mentors + apprentices

Wed Sep 7 08:47:15 CEST 2011

Hi everyone.
+This is to present apprentices looking for mentors,
+inviting mentors to step forward,
+as well as other potential apprentices
+
+
+Our apprentices waiting include :
+(See 
+http://www.mageia.org/wiki/doku.php?id=packages_mentoring#packager_apprentice_table 
+)
+
+dotmil (Josh King)
+He has experience with .deb packaging (kernel maintainer, drivers) as 
+well as contributing patches to various projects.
+He is a sys admin in his day job.
+He is very interested in learning the "Mageia way of doing things".
+His primary interests are packaging system tools/utilities and web apps, 
+but is eager to help wherever needed.  He has been reading our wiki 
+pages on packaging and security.
+He has a really positive attitude and I'm sure he will be a great asset.
+
+barjac (Barry Jackson)
+He has experience doing personal packaging, would like to package grub2 
+and get-skype.
+Anybody following the -dev list might have noticed his enthusiasm to 
+package, and his willingness to accept constructive criticism, as he 
+works on packages on his own.  A mentor would certainly facilitate his 
+learning process.
+
+. . . .
+So anyone willing to mentor one of them, please let me know.
+You can contact them directly (please post to this thread), or through me.
+If you like, I can update the mentoring in progress table for you.

+
+Anyone looking for a mentor, let me know (you can post to this thread), 
+so I can put your name in the apprentice table -- or you can do it yourself.
