Mentoring
THIS A WORK IN PROGRESS - THE MENTORING PROGRAM HAS NOT STARTED YET
This program is targeted at people that want to contribute to Ubuntu and have interest in server related technologies, but don't where or how to get started.
The program is lightweight and short in time. It provides a personal guide to make the first contribution to Ubuntu.
The potential contributor will be matched with a member of the ServerTeam and:
- discuss the area of interests of the applicant
- define a simple task to do
The mentor provides guidance during the whole process by:
- presenting existing procedures.
- pointing to existing communication channels (#ubuntu-server, ubuntu-server mailing list, other IRC channels and mailing lists).
linking to key members of the ServerTeam and Ubuntu in general.
- sponsoring one upload if the contribution is packaging related.
- giving feedback to the applicant in a timely manner.
Once the task has been accepted in Ubuntu, the contributor should have been in contact with the rest of the ServerTeam and should know where to ask questions.
