[Mageia-dev] mentors + apprentices

Fri Sep 23 16:45:02 CEST 2011

Hi everyone,
+
+Since my last post on this subjet, we have a new packager -- zezinho 
+(José Jorge) -- who already is maintainer of at least 96 of 8625 
+packages, according to the latest maintdb.txt.
+It also shows 41 packagers maintaining at least one package.
+(Out of at least 65 who qualify to package for Mageia.)
+
+We had two apprentices in waiting.
+Both now have mentors, thanks to shlomif.
+
+Since then, we have had 4 new future packagers, one of whom already has 
+a mentor.
+Thanks again to shlomif.
+
+That leaves 3 excellent potential packagers, looking for a mentor.
+
+They are :
+kemral102 (Danny Roberts)
+zarniwoop (David Sjölin)
+juergen_harms (Juergen Harms)
+
+I'll refer you to the apprentice table, since they all have long 
+descriptions of the interests and skills they plan to bring to packaging 
+for Mageia.
+Take a look at
+http://www.mageia.org/wiki/doku.php?id=packages_mentoring#packager_apprentice_table
+
+Please let me know if you are willing to mentor one (or more) of these 
+candidates, and I'll update the tables for you.  You can contact your 
+apprentices directly, or through me.
+
+Thanks :)
+
+----
+
+Anyone else looking for a mentor, let me know so I can add your name to 
+the apprentice table -- or you can do it yourself.
