There is a very enthusiastic u= ser who has been contributing great work to my overlay, but I cannot find= anyone to mentor him (I've e-mailed sound@g.o as well as recruiters@g.o = without much success). Maybe we should create a list of developers who ar= e willing to mentor new devs? It would make finding a mentor much easier. > >=20 > > ~tcort > wait till you have your required months at gentoo, then you mentor him, > if you truly like his work, tell him you have to wait before you can > mentor him, iirc 6 months from joining? Yup, 6 months as an ebuild developer is required before you can mentor new ebuild developers. In this case you might consider asking for a mentor on the gentoo-dev mailinglist seeing as sound@g.o and recruiters@g.o have't been able to find a mentor.
