Re: Volunteers, Contributors, Committers, PMC members -- is there any way to consolidate these lists?
Hello Rob how to be on the list of contributors? (I'm promoting AOO, I am a professor of computer and office, I also help in using AOO). For your information, I started the publication of the article (in French) High Level AOO Greats librement, *Sylvain DENIS* /Expert TIC, FLOSS WEB Conseiller en sécurité de l'information Formateur, conférencier/ Le 24/10/12 20:56, Rob Weir a écrit : We have the following today: 1) http://incubator.apache.org/openofficeorg/people.html -- This lists a variety of people involved in the project, independent of status. 2) I'd like to have a place for new volunteers to put their names, preferably on the wiki or some place where a non-committer has easy access. 3) We have a list of Committers here, automatically generated: http://people.apache.org/committers-by-project.html#ooo 4) We don't have anything that indicates which Committers are also PMC members. 5) We have this credits page, which is linked to from our Help/About dialog box. But it does not appear to be updated for AOO 3.4.0 or 3.4.1: http://www.openoffice.org/welcome/credits.html 6) Wiki User pages 7) Any others? As we all know, with multiple lists like this things will get out of synch. In fact they already have. One simplification idea might be: 1) Convert the people.html page into a wiki page 2) Have that page indicate who is a Committer or PMC member. That can be manual for now. 3) Point our Help/About box to the wiki page, and add sentence at the end of the wiki that says, OpenOffice has a long history and we also thank those who contributed to it before our move to Apache and then link to credits.html Any objections to this general idea? Any improvements? And if we did want a place to have a big table of volunteers, where on the wiki should we put it (CWiki or MWiki)? -Rob

Re: AOO volunteers: essential skills and tasks
Le 19/10/12 18:17, Rob Weir a écrit : I am thinking about what new project volunteers need to get started. Obviously there are area-specific things. For example, developers need to know how to download and build. Translation volunteers need to understand Pootle, etc. But there are also some basic things that all volunteers should probably do. Although we have all of this information (or at least most of it) on the website or wikis or mailing list archives, it is scattered all over the place. I think it would be good if we could collect this information (or at least links to this information) into one place and put a linear order behind it, a step of specific steps we want new volunteers to take. Now, I can hear the objections already -- you can't tell volunteers what to do. That is why they are volunteers. You can't regiment them, etc. This is true. But at the scale we need to operate at -- I'm aiming to attract dozens of new volunteers on the project by the end of the year -- we need some structure. So what can we do to make their first 2 weeks in the project easier for them, and easier for us? One idea: Think of the new volunteer startup tasks in terms of stages or levels, a defined set of reading and other activities that leads them to acquire basic skills in our community. For example: Level 1 tasks: 1) Read the following web pages on the ASF, roles at Apache and the Apache Way 2) Sign up for the following accounts that every volunteer should have: ooo-announce, ooo-dev, ooo-users, MWiki, CWiki, BZ, Forums 3) Read this helpful document on hints for managing your inbox with rules and folders 4) Read this code of conduct page on list etiquette 5) Send a note to ooo-dev list and introduce yourself 6) Edit this wiki page containing project volunteers. Add your name and indicate that you have completed Level 1. Level 2 tasks: 1) Using the Apache CMS in anonymous mode 2) Readings on decision making at Apache 3) Readings on project life cycle and roles within the AOO project 4) Introduction to the various functional groups within the project: development, qa, marketing, UX, documentation, support, localization, etc. 5) Pick one or more functional groups that you want to help with. Edit the volunteer wiki and list them. Also indicate that you have now completed Level 2. Get the idea? After Level 2 this then could branch off into area-specific lists of start up tasks: how to download and build. How to submit patches. How to update a translation. How to define a new test case. Is any one interested in helping with this? -Rob hello, I think it is a good idea to have steps Sylvain DENIS
