[SKYPE CALL] Mentoring Support for New and Existing Committers
 
|
Hi Everyone
I'm bringing up a topic that has been raised in the past regarding committer mentoring. [1][2][3]. As project we don't have any on-boarding process to help new committers or support existing ones. Sometimes people assume that by the time you become a committer then you should know how everything works! (and that isn't always the case. ) In the past year with the re-factoring, the framework, plugins, gradle etc we have a lot of changes happening and people may be a little overwhelmed about how they can continue to contribute. Getting feedback and sharing knowledge helps make people more confident in their way of working and contributions, and the end result is better code which is a great thing for the project. So I would like invite all of our committers (and also any interested contributors) to a Skype call to about mentoring and the support that you can get from our more experienced project committers. The call will be approximately 1 hour and will include an opportunity to ask questions. If you'd like to attend then please add your details, location and timezone to the table at the bottom of the following wiki page so that I can find a suitable time for everyone. https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBIZ/OFBiz+Mentors I really think that mentoring will help empower committers more, standardise work and coding practices and generally improve our working relationships. As always, feedback welcome and please don't forget to add your name if you'd like to attend. Thanks Sharan [1] https://s.apache.org/FzI0 [2] https://s.apache.org/60t1 [3] https://s.apache.org/GWtv |

Thank you for the initiative and detailed explanation Sharan. I've added
myself and encourage all our committers to do the same.

Hi Jinghai
That's great! If you are happy with Jacques and he is happy to mentor you then that is fine. (I think that you have already worked together - right? :-) so know that you can get along well!). The main message I want to send to all our committers that help is available and we have people willing to help and support them.

Hi Everyone
I'm posting a reminder to see if anyone else would like to participate in this call. At this stage we have 6 attendees of which 4 are mentors. Based on the locations (Europe, Kuwait and India) we have a good range of potential meeting times. I'd like to really encourage people to participate to find out how having a mentor could really help (Why not think of it as our own OFBiz Summer of Code :-) and a chance to do something that will benefit the project and also help you learn something new. Perhaps you want to take on a particular task or area but are unsure where to start? Perhaps you would like to get started writing or converting some of our plug-ins? What about doing some simple cleanup and refactoring? Having someone to speak to can help you to get started on whatever it is you want to do. Anyway I'll leave this open for a few more days and then will look at scheduling a call for next week.

+1 if we can join the google summer of code. I asked my niece to build a NER component last summer before her graduate school, she did it in one month. So I think we can make some efforts by the summer-code way in OFBiz clouding and AI areas.
BTW, I'll submit the NER component in OFBIZ-7954 later.

Sorry, I'm afraid I'm wrong, I cannot add a NER component to OFBiz, as the license of NER is GPL v2+, which is not compatible with our Apache License V2, see:

Hi Everyone
I'd like to suggest a call on Thursday this week (30th March). We have a lot potential times and I've included the details below CZ/FR/IT Kuwait India 09.00 10.00 12.30 10.00 11.00 13.30 11.00 12.00 14.30 12.00 13.00 15.30 13.00 14.00 16.30 14.00 15.00 17.30 At this stage my preference would be something like 10.00 CZ time (so 11.00 in Kuwait and 13.30 in India) but I'm flexible if other people have only limited availability. So please let me know your preference, and if Thursday is not a good day then please respond with an alternative. I'll also need you to send me your skype address if I don't already have it. (Pranay â I don't have yours:-) If you would like to attend this call then please make sure that you have included your details on the following wiki page https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/OFBIZ/OFBiz+Mentors Looking forward to speaking with those of you who will be involved in the call.

Hi All
I'm going to cancel this call proposal as I've not really had any feedback on this.

Maybe more time between the announce and the meeting would help?

Hi Jacques
You're probably right but with not many people signed up to attend, maybe it can be better handled offline. Also if people are interested in looking at it again in the future then we can do something then.
