<p>ATs should basically be treated as staff. This includes the following changes |
331 |
|
|
to the current situation:</p> |
332 |
|
|
<ul class="simple"> |
333 |

1.3 |
<li>Get a @(subdomain_to_be_determined).gentoo.org email address. The email |
334 |
|
|
address will just be an alias, and will be forwarded to their @gentoo.org |
335 |
|
|
address if they go on to become a Gentoo developer.</li> |
336 |
|
|
<li>Get read-only access to the gentoo-x86 repository. This doesn't have to be |
337 |
g2boojum |
1.6 |
individual accounts, a single account, without a shell, with all of their |
338 |
hparker |
1.3 |
keys will be sufficiant.</li> |
339 |

</ul> |
340 |

1.3 |
<p>There will be a 30 day probationary/mentoring period for new ATs.The lead AT/HT |
341 |
|
|
for arch/herd will be responsible for the mentoring period. If arch/herd |
342 |
|
|
doesn't have a Lead AT/HT, then either the arch/herd lead or the Strategic AT |
343 |
|
|
Lead will be responsible. The Lead AT is a seasoned developer that watches for talent, |
344 |
g2boojum |
1.6 |
recruits and mentors ATs. Additionally, the mentoring period should be shortened |
345 |
|
|
to a minimum of two weeks if an AT wants to take the end quiz to become a developer, |
346 |
|
|
assuming he has been AT for at least two weeks. The amd64 porting team has handled |
347 |
hparker |
1.3 |
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 |
349 |
g2boojum |
1.1 |
critical changes (such as hard masked software branches), could be expanded |
350 |
blubb |
1.2 |
to other herds. These 'ATs' wouldn't be called arch testers as the 'arch' is |
351 |
g2boojum |
1.1 |
irritating, instead, herd tester (HT) could be used.</p> |
352 |
|
|
<p>As arch testers (and herd testers) become official staff, they should be |
353 |
|
|
handled by DevRel.</p> |
354 |
blubb |
1.2 |
<p>Since ATs don't want to have to handle the big 'communication overhead' |
355 |
|
|
normally, they won't be subscribed to the gentoo-core mailing list and won't |
356 |
|
|
be able to vote.</p> |
