== Padawan == {{http://www.the11thhour.com/archives/012000/features/images/padawan_shadow.jpg}} Padawan is used to identify people interested in joining the Beginner Team. It is generally agreed that seeking membership is a dynamic process, without strict guidelines. Each candidate is considered on his or her merits, and some members will naturally progress through the membership process faster or slower then others. The padawan focus group is charged with assisting padawan such that this process goes as smoothly as possible. === May the force be with you (membership path). === Now that you are a padawan ... 1. Meet & greet. This is an important first step , does the potential new member mesh well with the team ? 1. Once it becomes apparent someone is interested / dedicated, a BT member "sponsors" them as a padawan. 1. Measuring up ~ The quiz is administered to assess general knowledge base and ensure potential new members are competent. 1. Padawan are brought up to speed on how the team functions, personal wiki pages, GPG signed CoC, etc. 1. Once masters feel they are ready, potential new members will then be nominated for a team approval at team meetings. The new user focus group will provide oversight and guidance so that the process of membership goes as smooth as possible. During the initiation, the Sangha will be assessing the padawan. == Jedi Fellows == {{http://news.softpedia.com/images/news2/Become-An-Ubuntu-039-Jedi-Master-039-2.png}} Beginning team members who are also Ubuntu Members qualify as Fellows.
