Definitely! I'll write a quick introduction to this list in a while. Sorry for forgetting and thank you for reminding! :) Best, Utkarsh signature.asc Description: OpenPGP digital signature
Re: Training process
Hi, Team ACME gets a new member. No reaction. When asked what happened: - team member A: no time - team member B: not a documented process - team member C: maybe new member did something wrong - team member D: will be introduced in 3 weeks with the report - team member E: I thought it was a user - other members: ... No judgement, I guess I love team ACME as it is :) Cheers! Sylvain

Or did I miss an information > source? As far as I am concerned, there's no official training. Internally, we mark new contributors as "in-training" for the initial period where they start to contribute on their free time to get familiar with the process. How each contributor "gets trained" is up to them. Some will read doc and just get it. Some will work with others that they have already met. Some will ask questions on this mailing list, etc. But all should handle at least one or two DLA from start to finish (with sponsors when required). > This would also help welcome new members, I myself remember a solid > silence when I joined (while I explicitly introduced my application at > debian-lts@l.d.o). I don't remember the context but answering questions to new contributors is definitely among the things that are allowed and encouranged for paid contributors. Maybe your mail didn't look like a question needing an answer?

I was traveling the last two days and the little LTS time I had I used for reviewing & sponsoring Utkarsh's uploads, discussing with him and sending his DLAs. TBH it also didnt occur to me to introduce him here, but you are right. I'm just a bit unsure where to remark this, so that we will remember in future, templates/new-candidacy.txt doesn't feel right.

Training process
Hi, First, welcome to Utkarsh Gupta in the team :) >From what I understand there was a training during July and August, resulting in active status this month. I saw zero traces of this training besides a passing anonymous mention in Raphael's reports. Possibly we can clarify this a lil' bit? Or did I miss an information source? This would also help welcome new members, I myself remember a solid silence when I joined (while I explicitly introduced my application at debian-lts@l.d.o). Cheers! Sylvain
