Regarding the mentoring possibility I just sent a message about - here is a suggestion for a web-page to better describe what I was talking about: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 3.2//EN" [ <!ENTITY date "$Date: 1997/11/17 17:27:00 $"> <!ENTITY title "FreeBSD Mentor Project"> <!ENTITY % includes SYSTEM "includes.sgml"> %includes; ]> <!-- $Id$ --> <html> &header; <p>The intention behind The FreeBSD mentor project is to give outside parties developing from FreeBSD a channel into the formal FreeBSD development process. This is not intended to be a replacement for the normal mailing lists, but a way for outside developers to get certain way of getting timely feedback and integration.</p> <p>The workings are very simple - to get a mentor, send a mail to <a href="mailto:hackers@freebsd.org">hackers@freebsd.org</a> with a subject of "Call for Mentor" or similar, with the body of the mail containing a small description of your interests and what kind of project you are doing or are interested in doing with FreeBSD. </p> <p>The mentor will have the following responsibilites: <ol> <li><p>Providing timely integration or rejection of changes.</p> <li><p>Giving information on the FreeBSD project structure where that is unclear to the mentoree.</p> <li><p>Answer questions relating to the mentorees FreeBSD devlopment project to the best of his/her ability (in the cases where it isn't obvious that this should go to a larger audience).</p> <li><p>Set the mentoree in contact with other FreeBSD developers in the cases where it is obvious that this is something that should be done in collaboration with another developer.</p> </ol></p> <p>Aquiring a mentor will of course not free the mentoree from their normal responsibility of attempting to gain knowledge from documentation and source before contacting using other people's time. A mentor can reject a mentoree at any point (how could we stop this?), but should not do this without a good reason. Examples of reasons include abuse of the mentors time by the mentoree, and the mentor just plain running out of time</p> &footer </body> </html>
