Re: Volunteers, Contributors, Committers, PMC members -- is there any way to consolidate these lists?

2012-10-24 Thread Sylvain DENIS

Hello Rob

how to be on the list of contributors? (I'm promoting AOO, I am a 
professor of computer and office, I also help in using AOO).


For your information, I started the publication of the article (in 
French) "High Level AOO"


Greats

We have the following today:

1) http://incubator.apache.org/openofficeorg/people.html  -- This
lists a variety of people involved in the project, independent of
status.

2) I'd like to have a place for new volunteers to put their names,
preferably on the wiki or some place where a non-committer has easy
access.

3) We have a list of Committers here, automatically generated:
http://people.apache.org/committers-by-project.html#ooo

4) We don't have anything that indicates which Committers are also PMC members.

5) We have this "credits" page, which is linked to from our Help/About
dialog box.  But it does not appear to be updated for AOO 3.4.0 or
3.4.1:  http://www.openoffice.org/welcome/credits.html

6) Wiki "User" pages

7) Any others?

As we all know, with multiple lists like this things will get out of
synch.  In fact they already have.

One simplification idea might be:

1) Convert the people.html page into a wiki page

2) Have that page indicate who is a Committer or PMC member.  That can
be manual for now.

3) Point our Help/About box to the wiki page, and add sentence at the
end of the wiki that says, "OpenOffice has a long history and we also
thank those who contributed to it before our move to Apache" and then
link to credits.html


Any objections to this general idea?  Any improvements?

And if we did want a place to have a big table of volunteers, where on
the wiki should we put it (CWiki or MWiki)?

Re: AOO volunteers: essential skills and tasks

2012-10-20 Thread Sylvain DENIS

Le 19/10/12 18:17, Rob Weir a écrit :

I am thinking about what new project volunteers need to get started.
Obviously there are area-specific things.  For example, developers
need to know how to download and build.  Translation volunteers need
to understand Pootle, etc.  But there are also some basic things that
all volunteers should probably do.

Although we have all of this information (or at least most of it) on
the website or wikis or mailing list archives, it is scattered all
over the place.  I think it would be good if we could collect this
information (or at least links to this information) into one place and
put a linear order behind it, a step of specific steps we want new
volunteers to take.

Now, I can hear the objections already -- you can't tell volunteers
what to do.  That is why they are volunteers.  You can't regiment
them, etc.  This is true.  But at the scale we need to operate at --
I'm aiming to attract dozens of new volunteers on the project by the
end of the year -- we need some structure.  So what can we do to make
their first 2 weeks in the project easier for them, and easier for us?

One idea:  Think of the new volunteer startup tasks in terms of
"stages" or "levels", a defined set of reading and other activities
that leads them to acquire basic skills in our community.

For example:

Level 1 tasks:

1) Read the following web pages on the ASF, roles at Apache and the Apache Way

2) Sign up for the following accounts that every volunteer should
have:  ooo-announce, ooo-dev, ooo-users,  MWiki, CWiki, BZ, Forums

3) Read this helpful document on hints for managing your inbox with
rules and folders

4) Read this code of conduct page on list etiquette

5) Send a note to ooo-dev list and introduce yourself

6) Edit this wiki page  containing project volunteers. Add your name
and indicate that you have completed Level 1.


Level 2 tasks:

1) Using the Apache CMS in anonymous mode

2) Readings on decision making at Apache

3) Readings on project life cycle and roles within the AOO project

4) Introduction to the various functional groups within the project:
development, qa, marketing, UX, documentation, support, localization,
etc.

5) Pick one or more functional groups that you want to help with.
Edit the volunteer wiki and list them.  Also indicate that you have
now completed Level 2.

Get the idea?  After Level 2 this then could branch off into
area-specific lists of start up tasks:  how to download and build.
How to submit patches.  How to update a translation.  How to define a
new test case.

Is any one interested in helping with this?

Attendance is free and, moreover, "Developer Rooms" can be made

September. See https://fosdem.org/2013/call_for_devrooms.html


I'm available to draft the application for an OpenOffice devroom and 
post it here on ooo-dev for lazy consensus, unless:

- Someone has already done it (just let us know)
- Apache manages applications in a centralized way
- No OpenOffice developers can attend (I would appreciate to know that 
we will have some full-time developers there)
- People believe it is useless (but FOSDEM is a big event and we 
shouldn't miss it, since by February we will probably have graduated 
and version 3.5 could be approaching release).

Re: Blog idea: interviews with AOO developers

2012-02-14 Thread Sylvain DENIS

Le 14/02/12 20:29, Rob Weir a écrit :

Something like this:

1.  Email interview off-list with an AOO contributor.  Questions like:
tell us about yourself, where you live, what you do for a living.
What is your development machine?  How did you start working with
OpenOffice?   Why?  What is your favorite contribution?  What other
OSS projects do you work with?   Stuff like that.

2. Interview might take several exchanges via email, to follow up on
questions.  Interviewer then assembles this into a draft, reviews with
interviewee.

3. Interviewer then posts as a blog post, hopefully with a photograph
of the interviewee.

We have a lot of interesting people working on this project.  So I
think we could have a lot of interesting posts from this.

Any volunteers to be interviewed?  Any volunteers to do the interviewing?

I'll volunteer to help, of course.

-Rob

Hello

And interview of AOO Users??? Perharps after
