[MoM] Summary of first mentoring period
Hi,
today is the first of March and thus I would like to start a new MoM
period. I have put the following summary on the Wiki page[1]:
15. January to 29. February 2012: Luis Ibanez packaging fis-gtm
---------------------------------------------------------------
Luis Ibanez took over the challenging task of starting with one of the
very hard packages in the beginning. So the result that the package is
not uploaded yet does not come unexpected. From a mentors perspective
I'm happy with Luis because he learned basic packaging skills and
communication channels inside Debian Med and did a pretty good overall
job. He was quite verbose about his plans and success / problems so it
was quite easy for me to guide him. For the package itself he started to
rework the upstream build system using cmake which is probably a good
idea anyway and helps other potential users outside Debian as well
(which is a good thing). I will keep on helping to finalise the package
once Luis will confirm success in getting cmake working.
An explicite thanks to Luis who made me realise that MoM might be really
a good idea. There is one new entry in the queue saying
Scott Christley: swarm
(Scott is in CC this time but I'll drop this CCing in the future and
just communicate via list). As far as I can see there is an ITP bug
#611922 and some work done at
Vcs-Svn: svn://svn.debian.org/debian-med/trunk/packages/swarm/trunk/
I must clearly state that I have no idea about Objective-C and potential
pitfalls which might occure.
So Scott, are you up for finalising the package? What are your plans
and questions regarding this package? I'm keen on helping you finishing
your initial work.
Kind regards
Andreas.
