For using the development release safely, please take a look at: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/UsingDevelopmentReleases Regarding the Mentoring Programme: I'm not sure we need to discuss it on the MOTU Council list. The MOTU list should be enough for now. - From https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/Mentoring/NewModel "The majority of new contributors are unsure on how to begin when starting out in Ubuntu development. Most only need an overview of basic tools, processes, and to become familiar with available Ubuntu Teams and community members. Experienced developers have (in most cases) a busy agenda and often can't dedicate a lot of time to new contributors, which may make those contributors lose their interest in contributing. On the other hand, experienced contributors (Ubuntu Members or Universe Contributors) may also have the time and energy needed for such a work. Also, helping new contributors will push senior ones to learn and investigate more on the fields they don't know already." I'm not involved in the Mentoring programme as a coordinator anymore, but I personally think this is a good idea. I expect everybody who made it into the Universe Contributors team to help out with advice in the team. Granted, upgrading to Jaunty is a bit much, but I feel this is one of the few occasions where things went wrong. In this specific case anybody could have given the advice to run jaunty, being a mentor or not, so I'm not sure that discussing a mentoring programme change helps much. I think I'd prefer a discussion about how we can make good information on the wiki more prominent. Pages like https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/KnowledgeBase (which includes the link above) should be used much more and the first thing that come to our minds. Have a nice day, Daniel -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkkZLX8ACgkQRjrlnQWd1eutBwCdFE2PA+oFxmXXwExjDLGyAuRT QjUAn2/8b4AG3aZCWdWaHMxCsl0859bX =qW5i -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Ubuntu-motu mailing list Ubuntu-motu@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-motu
