  • Sharing mentoring a new Debian contributor experience, lots of fun

    From Kentaro Hayashi@21:1/5 to All on Thu Oct 7 10:40:02 2021
    Hi,

    I recently did mentoring a new debian contributor.
    This is carried out in a framework with "OSS Gate on-boarding" [1].

    In "OSS Gate on-boarding", recruit a new contributor who
    want to work on continuously. Then, corporation (ClearCode Inc.)
    sponsor its employee as a mentor.
    Thus, employees can do it as a one of their job.

    During Aug - Oct period, I worked with a new debian contributor every 2h in a week.
    This experience is lots of fun, and learned a new things for me.

    The most important point in this period: a new Debian contributor aimed to
    do their work continuously even though mentoring period has finished.

    So, some of work has finished, but not for all.
    I tried to transfer a knowledge for it.

    I'm looking forward that he makes things forward in consultation
    with other person's help.

    Here is the report about my activity as a mentor.

    First OSS Gate onboarding (The article is written by Japanese) https://www.clear-code.com/blog/2021/10/8/on-boarding-2021-08.html

    Original blog entry is written by Japanese, I don't afford to
    translate it, so just paste link to google translate for your hints: https://www-clear--code-com.translate.goog/blog/2021/10/8/on-boarding-2021-08.html?_x_tr_sl=ja&_x_tr_tl=en

    I hope someone can do a similar attempt in your company too!

    For the record, I worked with a new Debian contributor about:

    * ITP: slack-term WIP

    * ITP: golang-github-lithammer-fuzzysearch (already in Debian)
    https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=992838
    * ITP: golang-github-0xax-notificator (waiting ftp-master's review)
