Mentoring process for each Focus Group(FG) will be handled by that particular FG members. For more information, visit each Focus Group pages. '''Focus Group POCs''' Each Focus Group has a Point Of Contact(POC) who is responsible for organizing, inspiring, and being the first level of dispute resolution.

Focus Group POCs are nominated and elected by the Focus Group Members for a period of six months and will be cycled. |

This will direct you to a create new page screen. * At this point, you can either start a new page from scratch or select from either of our two prepared templates (they will be in the list of templates). They can be previewed [[HomepageBTTemplate]] and [[HomepageBTTemplate2]]. * For documentation on how wiki markup (the language that dictates the formatting) works, see the [[BeginnersTeam/FocusGroups/Wiki#Editing%20the%20Wiki|Wiki FG's homepage]]. This section provides information on how to login and edit either wiki. Take special note of the Wiki Guide and it's formatting sections. You may practice with the listed Sandbox or simply within your new homepage, it is yours to do with as you see fit. * '''DON'T''' edit other people's pages. For a few examples of what a wiki page might look like see the following: * [[starcraft.man]] * [[BodhiZazen|Bodhi.Zazen]] * [[Silver_Fox]] * [[JoelGoguen]] * [[nhasian]] * [[ZachK_]] * To examine the markup of the above, be logged in, push '''More Actions ...''' drop down at the top and select Raw Text. This will allow you to look at a plain text version of the source of a page, comparing to what actually appears is a good way of learning. If you like some piece of markup like a table or organization structure, feel free to borrow it (i.e. copy and paste to your own page), it was probably borrowed from someone else before. * Please note, not all section used by these members might apply, use only what you need. So if say for instance you've not made any Team Proposals or Wiki page contributions, just delete the sections and headings, can always add them back later. * If you have any trouble or questions, ideally see members of the [[BeginnersTeam/FocusGroups/Wiki#New%20Users|Wiki Focus Group]]. If none in the main channel, see anyone else who is, most have some experience with wiki. |

The Ubuntu Beginners Team exists to enhance the initial experience of new Ubuntu users and to guide existing Ubuntu users to become part of the global Ubuntu community. We are open for all and anyone can join our team and contribute to the community from day 1. 
The Ubuntu Beginners Team is composed of:
Members

All team members are expected to adhere to the Ubuntu Code of Conduct, and should consider signing the Code of Conduct on Launchpad. Furthermore, those in leadership positions are in addition expected to adhere to the Ubuntu Leadership Code of Conduct. Although not a strict requirement, members are encouraged to contribute to the Greater Ubuntu Community and eventually become Ubuntu Members.
Focus Groups

Most focus groups are associated with at least one official Ubuntu team. (ie., Bugs Focus Group is associated with the Bug Squad, Bug Control, Testing and Quality teams). The purpose of these focus groups is to help people become more active in the Ubuntu Community. Mentoring process for each Focus Group(FG) will be handled by that particular FG members. For more information, visit each Focus Group pages.
Focus Group POCs
Each Focus Group has a Point Of Contact(POC) who is responsible for organizing, inspiring, and being the first level of dispute resolution. It is the responsibility of the POC for maintaining a bridge between the Official Teams and Beginners Team FG and make sure that we provide the right way to enter the community and contribute. Focus Group POCs are nominated and elected by the Focus Group Members for a period of six months and will be cycled.

Guides

Guides are Beginners Team Members who have continued to build their knowledge and excel in their area of the community. Guides assisting prospective members are responsible for the following:
- Welcome potential new members to the Ubuntu Beginners Team and familiarize them with general operation.
- Provide prospective members with a wide array of resources for learning and answering their questions.
- Help them find and integrate into the focus group of their choice.
- Assist prospective members creating and maintaining their wiki and launchpad pages.
- Help the prospective member get his Community Recommendation.
- Verify that applicants are committed and not just "passing through".
Guides will be qualified in specialized areas of the community such as accessibility, packaging, documentation, etc. If a person is working towards joining a specific Ubuntu team they will be assigned a Mentor by that particular Focus Group, who is qualified in that area. The responsibilities of Guides working with people trying to contribute and/or join an Ubuntu team are:
- Ensure the mentee is familiar with the resources the associated FG team uses
- Answering questions about the associated team
- Providing feedback to the mentee on their activities in relation to the associated team
Just because you're assigned a Guide or Mentor, doesn't mean you can't ask questions of other members, by all means do. The Guide or Mentor is there as someone who will get to know you more than others and spend time on whatever you need, like a first year mentor at a new school. Feel free to join #ubuntu-beginners-team on IRC and get to know many people in our community.
How to Be a Guide - If you are sure that you know where you have to guide a new member, entering newly to our team, feel free to be a guide for him/her to find the right FG to fit in and stick with them to monitor their progress and make sure that the result is positive.
