Yes, I wasn't thinking too well yesterday.
Just because someone fulfills the requirements to become a mentor, that
doesn't mean that he / she can be a mentor for a specific project.
Projects can impose additional requirements.
Thanks and sorry for wasting people's time.

From http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/devrel/recruiters/mentor.xml
"In addition, your project lead must be CC'd and must approve the bug
when it's filed to confirm that the project is accepting new developers."

I doubt the docs team approves you as a mentor.

It's long been the case that individual projects can set additional
criteria for recruits joining them -- I don't see why that shouldn't
also apply to people mentoring recruits to join that project.

Petteri, I assumed this was already the case and it makes perfect sense
to me.
There's one thing that you're not addressing though. We have different
types of developers amongst us, so how do we count the 6 months period?
Let me explain more fully. At this point, I could mentor someone into
becoming a new moderator in the forums, but I don't think anyone would
support me being an ebuild dev mentor - not being one myself yet. IIRC,
documentation devs don't need to be ebuild devs. Does anyone propose
that I could be a docs dev mentor - not being part of the team? Finally,
should a 6+ month ebuild dev, recently becoming part of the docs or
forums moderation team, be allowed to be a mentor for those teams?
Perhaps we should require that the dev be part of Gentoo for at least
six months and in the case of mentoring for the forums or the docs team,
that he/she has the blessing of the team lead(s) - in case the dev isn't
part of the respective team for at least X months. Do we want X to be 6
months?
Anyone agrees/disagrees?

[gentoo-dev] Change in mentoring requirements

2007-04-14 Thread Petteri Räty
 
 Before you can mentor anyone, you must have been with Gentoo for at
least six
-months or must be a project lead.
+months. Previously being a project lead was enough too but with GLEP 39
anyone
+can create new projects.
