Hi ..C..,
1. Re-reading the triage documentation
2. Less then 10, I started out in March or so. 2 reasons for this low
number, first personal life (just bought a house, it needs some work)
and second the rather high learning curve for both traiging bugs as
well as learning all the software and ins and outs of ubuntu itself.
Online wiki documentation is ok, but sometimes I have the feeling each
bug demands a different and individual approach, which off course
makes it hard to write good documentation.
3. Closer follow-up in the beginning
4. Nice documentation and irc contacts, some of them helped me out
traiging.
So here's my 2 cents on the issue:
I don't know what the structure and organisation was before I joined,
but I've got the feeling that new mentees are somewhat lost in the
large group. I think that, if one or maybe 2 mentors are closer to a
small group of mentees, contacts will be made easier. The group won't
seem so large to new mentees, and you will get to know other
mentees/your mentors quicker. Creating a structure of smaller groups,
called subsquads, lead by one or 2 mentors, might be a solution.
Secondly, I think new mentees are also lost in the huge pile of bugs.
I wonder if there's a way to create some more order in this pile. For
instance: you could assign a group of packages and their related bugs
to an above mentioned subsquad. This way, a subsquad becomes
"responsible" for a series of packages and their related bugs. This
assignment of packages can be dynamic, so the load of untriaged bugs
is more or less the same for all subsquads.
Maybe mentees can have more assistance as well. I remember a mail in
which mentors urged the mentees to ask for assistance when triaging
bugs. Due to the nature of (some) people, maybe it's better if the
mentors gave assistance to mentees instead of waiting to be asked for
assistance. So, more *coaching* of the mentors towards the mentees and
asking mentee feedback on a regular base. The above proposed subsquad
structure could make this coaching easier.
Off course this is just my 2 cents and maybe this all has been said
before, but I'm only trying to start a discussion here to find a
solution ;-).
Cheers,
Velle

All,
During today's BugSquad meeting we considered the current status of
the mentorship programme. All in all, we do not think it has been
helping much.
We would like to have the feedback of the current mentees:
1. What are you doing now in regard to the mentorship programme?
2. Since you started, how many bugs have you worked on? Give an
estimate -- 1, 10, 100, 1000, etc.
3. What did you expect from the mentorship programme? Please be as
detailed as possible.
4. What did you *get* from the mentorship programme? Again, please
be as detailed as poosible.
I intend to query LP for the activities of each of your, as another
datum we will use for analysis.
Thank you,
..C..
