<PRE>Hi all,
I would like to make comment on the Mentoring system, and hopefully I
will convey it, and be interpreted in the best possible spirit.
I am glad Kyle has now had an offer to be mentored and by no means wish
to stop this or interfere in anyway, however I felt quite deflated when
I read the offer to mentor him, and I imagine others would too, so I
feel obligated to comment.
There is a list on the wiki of people looking for mentors
<A HREF="https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Becoming_a_Mageia_Packager#Packaging_apprentice_candidates">https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Becoming_a_Mageia_Packager#Packaging_apprentice_candidates</A>
Kyle has indeed added his name to the list, however there are 5 people
on the list before him, I have been on that list since mid January, and
there is someone who has been waiting since late November.
All things being equal, shouldn't preference be given to the top
(longest waiting) of the list?
Is there a reason why 5 people get overlooked, and someone who has been
waiting 2 days is given a chance? If we are not as
committed/capable/available/desirable can someone please let us know? I
have already packaged a program I wrote and want added to Mageia, and I
wait patiently for a Mentor, just to find the line has been cut.
Do I need to constantly have IRC on to be chosen? is there some
unwritten rules about how to gain a mentor? If so please let me know so
I can do these things.
I hope this is taken constructively, I don't wish for the mentoring
offer to Kyle to be withdrawn, he sounds like he will be an asset to the
packaging team, I do think though that you should consider the list
first before making offers. If a person is not suitable, tell them so
they can move on, perhaps package for another distro, whatever. Don't
just leave them there to rot.
