<p>Since Mike Doty (kingtaco) created an Arch Tester (AT) project in January 2005
|
| 79 |
|
|
to reduce the developer's load and the amount of open keywording bugs for the
|
| 80 |
|
|
amd64 porting team, many users have volunteered to become ATs. They are doing
|
| 81 |
|
|
a fair share of everyday's work to keep the amd64 and ppc trees up to date.
|
| 82 |
|
|
While they spent many hours and even had to pass the staff quiz, they are
|
| 83 |
|
|
currently not recognized as official members of Gentoo.</p>

<p>ATs should basically be treated as staff. This includes the following changes
|
| 88 |
|
|
to the current situation:</p>
|
| 89 |
|
|
<ul class="simple">
|
| 90 |
hparker |
1.3 |
<li>Get a @(subdomain_to_be_determined).gentoo.org email address. The email
|
| 91 |
|
|
address will just be an alias, and will be forwarded to their @gentoo.org
|
| 92 |
|
|
address if they go on to become a Gentoo developer.</li>
|
| 93 |
|
|
<li>Get read-only access to the gentoo-x86 repository. This doesn't have to be
|
| 94 |
|
|
individual accounts, a single account, without a shell, with all of their
|
| 95 |
|
|
keys will be sufficiant.</li>
|
| 96 |
g2boojum |
1.1 |
</ul>
|
| 97 |
hparker |
1.3 |
<p>There will be a 30 day probationary/mentoring period for new ATs.The lead AT/HT
|
| 98 |
|
|
for arch/herd will be responsible for the mentoring period. If arch/herd
|
| 99 |
|
|
doesn't have a Lead AT/HT, then either the arch/herd lead or the Strategic AT
|
| 100 |
|
|
Lead will be responsible. The Lead AT is a seasoned developer that watches for talent,
|
| 101 |
|
|
recruits and mentors ATs. Additionally, the mentoring period should be shortened
|
| 102 |
|
|
to a minimum of two weeks if an AT wants to take the end quiz to become a developer,
|
| 103 |
|
|
assuming he has been AT for at least two weeks. The amd64 porting team has handled
|
| 104 |
|
|
situations like this for a while and only made positive experiences.</p>
|

<p>Also, the idea of an arch tester as a trustworthy user who is able to test
|
| 106 |
g2boojum |
1.1 |
critical changes (such as hard masked software branches), could be expanded
|
| 107 |
blubb |
1.2 |
to other herds. These 'ATs' wouldn't be called arch testers as the 'arch' is
|
| 108 |
g2boojum |
1.1 |
irritating, instead, herd tester (HT) could be used.</p>
|
| 109 |
|
|
<p>As arch testers (and herd testers) become official staff, they should be
|
| 110 |
|
|
handled by DevRel.</p>
|
| 111 |
blubb |
1.2 |
<p>Since ATs don't want to have to handle the big 'communication overhead'
|
| 112 |
|
|
normally, they won't be subscribed to the gentoo-core mailing list and won't
|
| 113 |
|
|
be able to vote.</p>
