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