[gentoo-dev] Looking for a new mentor...

[alexmcwhirter]

I've been working towards becomming a gentoo developer for while now in 
order to bring the sparc port up to speed with the rest of the gentoo 
project. In short there appear to be no active gentoo developers working 
on sparc.

I had a mentor earlier this year, but i can no longer get in touch with 
him.

I have both quizzes nearly complete, i just need someone to look over 
them and answer a question or two. Any help would be greatly 
appreciated.

Recruiters take care of recruitment process, not about mentors:)

They do. But they usually are aware of possible and active mentors and
can recommend some.

Cheers,

Manuel.

Well, I have been recruiting people for more than a year, we can only 
recommend, but usually it is not our work.

Alex, it would be helpful to list your timezone and normal availability
times. That will help potential mentors know if they match up
availability times.

Aside from sparc related updates, is there any other areas of the ebuild
tree your more interested in like desktop environments, gnome, kde,
*box, networking, tools...

My timezone is EDT, pretty much available 10AM to 2AM EDT

Most of my interests will be related to server and / or networking type 
issues. I also have some interest in fixing up things like genkernel on 
other archs.

I can help with mentoring as a sparc developer. Please ping me off list
or in #gentoo-sparc (jmorgan).
