No, that's not, i completely disgree with that. Most of the MOTU's have already strong technical skills and they can mentor someone for his MOTU journey, but if you take a closer look to the programme it has been splited in 2 "stages", the first one the junior mentor program, which is basically for starters who wish to became UUC and the senior program which is for people wanting to became a MOTU. With that schema we can say that for new starters what is most needed is an overview of the tools we use (ubuntu-dev-scripts, pbuilder, launchpad, ubuntuwire, etc...) more than a hard technical guide, that's why the senior program is for, and for that program mentors need to be experienced MOTU's. I also agree that upgrading to jaunty was to much, so i will be really grateful if you send more information to the us (the mentoring receptions team) to work on that issues and fix stuff for the future instead of opening a big conversation on the public lists, as in security is better to talk with the people that can fix the issues before they are public. -- Nicolas Valcárcel Security Engineer Custom Engineering Solutions Group Canonical OEM Services Mobile: +51 1 99429 3200 Key fingerprint = BCE4 27A0 D03E 55DE DA2D BE06 891D 8DEE 6545 97FE gpg --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 654597FE
