[libreoffice-documentation] contributor job descriptions
Hi There are several groups local to me, seeking to help people back in to employment (which I am looking for myself) however as part of this there are some initiatives to give people experience in various roles. Part of this is that people are given a job / role description, is there anything like this for LibreOffice contribution? Set out what people will be doing, expectations and prior knowledge etc I am sort of asking this, because we could approach people and have this information to hand. It would be good to promote what opportunities there are but I have a feeling we need to be more formalized to get anywhere. Clearly knowledge of free software is essential or at least know it is not free as in cost but free as in freedom (something many struggle with). Just an idea Regards Paul -- Paul Sutton https://personaljournal.ca/paulsutton/ OpenPGP: 4350 91C4 C8FB 681B 23A6 7944 8EA9 1B51 E27E 3D99 Mini Debian Gaming Conference - 19-22 November 2020 https://mdco2.mini.debconf.org/ -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: documentation+unsubscr...@global.libreoffice.org Problems? https://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: https://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/documentation/ Privacy Policy: https://www.documentfoundation.org/privacy
