Hi,
Following previous discussion [1], I've written up a wiki page
presenting the mentoring program [2].
[1]:
https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-server/2008-February/001197.html
[2]: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ServerTeam/Mentoring
Here is the content of the wiki page.
--------------------
Are you interested in joining the ServerTeam and contribute to Ubuntu ?
Don't know where to get started ? The mentors of the ServerTeam are here
to help you make your first contribution to Ubuntu.
This program is lightweight and short in time. You'll get a mentor from
the ServerTeam and together:
1. discuss your areas of interest.
2. define a simple task to accomplish.
3. get your contribution integrated in Ubuntu !
Interested ? Send an email to [[MailTo(mathiaz AT SPAMFREE ubuntu DOT
com)]] introducing yourself and we'll take it from there.
== Mentor guidelines ==
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.
--------------------
Let me know what you think about it.
