Whilst Holger replied to it already; from my end, I'll write a short blog post 
(hopefully this weekend!), describing the things I did and learn as a trainee.
Shall push to planet.d.o as well!

Definitely! I'll write a quick introduction to this list in a while.
Sorry for forgetting and thank you for reminding! :)


Best,

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

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).

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?

thanks and indeed! Welcome as an LTS contributor, Utkarsh!

yes, done by me (and a bit from Raphael), done in private.

I expect a welcome with the full name in the upcoming report for
September. :)

see above.

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. Suggestions?

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
