Hi Moray, In your platform, you give that specific idea: Besides the great work of debian-mentors/mentors.debian.net, it might be good to provide more ways to learn about how to contribute to Debian. One possibility would be to encourage teams to take interns, perhaps for a summer period like GSoC, and give them tasks that they can learn from. While it's usual for interns to create more work for existing team members rather than reduce it, this could help recruit new long-term contributors for Debian even where people don't continue afterwards in the specific teams – finding a first way to contribute and enter the community is often a difficult step.
I am not sure how it would differ from GSoC? What different problem will this solve? Also, we often have problems finding ideas for GSoC. Do you think that we can find enough ideas+mentors for another program? Lucas -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-vote-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
