[Mageia-dev] mentors + apprentices

Tue Jun 5 10:26:20 CEST 2012

Hi everyone,
+
+Since my last post, we have 2 new apprentice candidates looking for a mentor.
+
+simplew (Pedro), who is a longtime user of various rpm-based distros, is most 
+interested in Gnome and KDE packages.  As you have probably noticed, he has 
+already been struggling with packaging on his own.  His languages are en, pt, 
+and es.
+
+agron (Agron Selimaj), an mdv powerpack user since 2006, has skills in C++, 
+debugging, patch review, and rpm building, and is interested in focusing on 
+essential packages.
+
+Others have expressed interest in becoming packagers, but I have yet to confirm 
+their interest.
+
+You can find more details at:
+https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Becoming_a_Mageia_Packager#Packager_apprentice_candidates
+
+Mentors, let me know who you take on, and I'll update the tables for you.
+And if you feel that you can take on another apprentice, don't hesitate to post 
+to this thread.
+
+Thanks :-)
+

+
+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.

+
+To find a mentor, it helps to also post to this list (mageia-dev), or hang out 
+on IRC at freenode #mageia-mentoring.
+Don't forget that if you contact a mentor directly, they know that you are 
+actively interested.
+
+Regards :-)
