Re: [discussion] rename the recruitment list
Hi Arrigo I like the Idea to post Tasks onto Recruitment. I will try this. However, I try tried to give people tasks that were signing on, and it never worked out. Maybe I am a bad recruiter. I leave that to other peoples decision. You can read my posts on recruitment and what I tried. I have mostly wrote stuff like this here: https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/0a16093227325324ea57fb07cf8e08a7902c0f365792c14065de88ac%40%3Crecruitment.openoffice.apache.org%3E As an answer when someone posted interest. I have asked people to talk to me, and figure what they can do and tried to give them a choice of Issues. Even look for more if they are not interested. But in the end, I could recruit no one. So I would like to change tactics. And one thought I have is that a lot of people think that ASF is a Company, or they do not differ between ASF and a Company. OpenOffice is also only a product to them, and not a project. We have mostly Issues. Crashes, out dated stuff. Boring maintenance. There are only 2 topics for features. That is OOXML and ODF 1.3. I try to get a concept for base together. I will make my next step on FOSDEM, but as you see I take my time. And it will be a long time until I suggest actual work. And Base is the simplest of all the applications we have, because it is the "least used". I hope you understand now more where I come from. I am a bit astonished that no one screams on the hierarchy suggestions. I think we do not need them and we can continue with our rather anarchic approach with similar success. But I think this is a completely different discussion. All the best Peter On 13.01.21 11:24, Arrigo Marchiori wrote: Hello Peter, thank you for having raised this issue.

My theory is that a lot of people do not understand OpenSource in general, and recruitment is commonly strongly linked with Job offers. So have the theory people write us with the hope on a job. Maybe a better name would support a better understanding, on how we work or what to expect. Maybe something like enlistasvolunt...@openoffice.apache.org? Or simply volunt...@openoffice.apache.org or enl...@openoffice.apache.org My quick reply to your answer: IMHO (as a non-native English speaker) the term "recruitment" is already good enough to describe "enlisting as volunteering". It's very clear that everyone here is a volunteer. Moreover, you don't have to be a recruiter to write to recruitment@, as you do not have to be a developer to write to dev@ (as it is happening for applications to test release candidate 4.1.9) --- Longer pilosophycal reply starts here --- This part is about "how we work and what to expect", as you wrote. From my very short and limited experience, I have seen quite some enlistings: people who wrote "hello, here I am, I am good at this and that". But I have hardly seen anyone working as a _recruiter_, in terms of: "we have to do X and Y. Who is available to help?" So my question is: can we use that list for actual recruitment, in terms of gathering people around a sub-proect? Such as "let's refactor module X", or "let's document module Y", or whatever we think: - would be a Good Thing for the project and - needs a coordinated effort because it's too much for a single volunteer. Such coordinated efforts would need a... coordinator, with the ability to tell volunteers "let's do X, let's not do Y". In other words, a simple hierarchy. I am asking this because I am not sure, from what I understood of "The Apache Way", how much hierarchies or sub-groups are tolerated. Moreover, the only "structured" process I have encountered in my short experience is the preparation of a release, that involves the full developers' community. But from what I have seen so far, Open Office is a _huge_ project, that carries the work of _many_ hands. It is IMHO unrealistic to expect a real evolution of this software if we do not start working in task-oriented groups. If the answer is yes, that the Apache Way and the project's philosophy have nothing against simple hierarchical working groups, then "recruitment" is (still IMHO) a _very_ good name for the list, and we should take full advantage of such name: _let's use it_ for hiring! :-) Trying to better explain my point, here is a fictional example sub-project: translate all source code inline documentation into HTML format. All names are fictional. 1- J. Doe sends a [PROPOSAL]; we discuss it on the dev@ list and agree that it is a Good Thing. 2- J. Doe and F. Bar take the responsibility of coordinating it, 3- J. Doe sends a "recruitment" message to _both_ dev@ and recruitment@ telling "let's do this; contributors welcome; we start on Octember 36t

It's very clear that everyone here is a volunteer. Moreover, you don't have to be a recruiter to write to recruitment@, as you do not have to be a developer to write to dev@ (as it is happening for applications to test release candidate 4.1.9) --- Longer pilosophycal reply starts here --- This part is about "how we work and what to expect", as you wrote. >From my very short and limited experience, I have seen quite some enlistings: people who wrote "hello, here I am, I am good at this and that". But I have hardly seen anyone working as a _recruiter_, in terms of: "we have to do X and Y. Who is available to help?" So my question is: can we use that list for actual recruitment, in terms of gathering people around a sub-proect? Such as "let's refactor module X", or "let's document module Y", or whatever we think: - would be a Good Thing for the project and - needs a coordinated effort because it's too much for a single volunteer. Such coordinated efforts would need a... coordinator, with the ability to tell volunteers "let's do X, let's not do Y". In other words, a simple hierarchy. I am asking this because I am not sure, from what I understood of "The Apache Way", how much hierarchies or sub-groups are tolerated. Moreover, the only "structured" process I have encountered in my short experience is the preparation of a release, that involves the full developers' community. But from what I have seen so far, Open Office is a _huge_ project, that carries the work of _many_ hands. It is IMHO unrealistic to expect a real evolution of this software if we do not start working in task-oriented groups. If the answer is yes, that the Apache Way and the project's philosophy have nothing against simple hierarchical working groups, then "recruitment" is (still IMHO) a _very_ good name for the list, and we should take full advantage of such name: _let's use it_ for hiring! :-) Trying to better explain my point, here is a fictional example sub-project: translate all source code inline documentation into HTML format. All names are fictional. 1- J. Doe sends a [PROPOSAL]; we discuss it on the dev@ list and agree that it is a Good Thing. 2- J. Doe and F. Bar take the responsibility of coordinating it, 3- J. Doe sends a "recruitment" message to _both_ dev@ and recruitment@ telling "let's do this; contributors welcome; we start on Octember 36th, reply to dev@ if interested". He may also dig in the recruitment@ archives and directly contact people who introduced themselves in the past, may be fit for the job and may not be subscribed to the list. 4- J. Doe, F. Bar and the other volunteers carry out the task, using the dev@ list when necessary. If recruited volunteer B. Etor says "I would like to do it bi-lingual: English and Klingon" then F. Bar has the authority to say "no thanks, please let us stick to English". I hope I could explain myself clearly. Please do not see this as hijacking your discussion thread, as I am just trying to fully understand the term "recruitment" and therefore the role of the corresponding mailing list. If this topic has already been discussed in the past (and honestly, I would be suprised if it had not :-) please send me the pointers.

[discussion] rename the recruitment list
Hello all, I wonder if we can rename the recruitment list to something else. My theory is that a lot of people do not understand OpenSource in general, and recruitment is commonly strongly linked with Job offers. So have the theory people write us with the hope on a job. Maybe a better name would support a better understanding, on how we work or what to expect. Maybe something like enlistasvolunt...@openoffice.apache.org? Or simply volunt...@openoffice.apache.org or enl...@openoffice.apache.org what do you think? I am interested in all opinions, even if you are just a passive reader or from other projects.
