<p>Rejected by the Gentoo Council on 13 Oct. 2005.  This GLEP may be resubmitted

are addressed in a new version of this GLEP.</p>
</div>
<div class="section">
<h1><a class="toc-backref" href="#id4" id="motivation" name="motivation">Motivation</a></h1>
<p>Since Mike Doty (kingtaco) created an Arch Tester (AT) project in January 2005
to reduce the developer's load and the amount of open keywording bugs for the
amd64 porting team, many users have volunteered to become ATs. They are doing
a fair share of everyday's work to keep the amd64 and ppc trees up to date.
While they spent many hours and even had to pass the staff quiz, they are
currently not recognized as official members of Gentoo.</p>
</div>
<div class="section">
<h1><a class="toc-backref" href="#id5" id="specification" name="specification">Specification</a></h1>
<p>ATs should basically be treated as staff. This includes the following changes
to the current situation:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li>Get a &#64;(subdomain_to_be_determined).gentoo.org email address. The email
address will just be an alias, and will be forwarded to their &#64;gentoo.org
address if they go on to become a Gentoo developer.</li>
<li>Get read-only access to the gentoo-x86 repository. This doesn't have to be
individual accounts, a single account, without a shell, with all of their
keys will be sufficiant.</li>
</ul>
<p>There will be a 30 day probationary/mentoring period for new ATs.The lead AT/HT
for arch/herd will be responsible for the mentoring period. If arch/herd
doesn't have a Lead AT/HT, then either the arch/herd lead or the Strategic AT
Lead will be responsible. The Lead AT is a seasoned developer that watches for talent,
recruits and mentors ATs. Additionally, the mentoring period should be shortened
to a minimum of two weeks if an AT wants to take the end quiz to become a developer,
assuming he has been AT for at least two weeks. The amd64 porting team has handled
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
critical changes (such as hard masked software branches), could be expanded
to other herds. These 'ATs' wouldn't be called arch testers as the 'arch' is
irritating, instead, herd tester (HT) could be used.</p>
<p>As arch testers (and herd testers) become official staff, they should be
handled by DevRel.</p>
<p>Since ATs don't want to have to handle the big 'communication overhead'
normally, they won't be subscribed to the gentoo-core mailing list and won't
be able to vote.</p>

320			<h1><a class="toc-backref" href="#id4" id="motivation" name="motivation">Motivation</a></h1>
321	g2boojum	1.1	<p>Since Mike Doty (kingtaco) created an Arch Tester (AT) project in January 2005
322			to reduce the developer's load and the amount of open keywording bugs for the
323			amd64 porting team, many users have volunteered to become ATs. They are doing
324			a fair share of everyday's work to keep the amd64 and ppc trees up to date.
325			While they spent many hours and even had to pass the staff quiz, they are
326			currently not recognized as official members of Gentoo.</p>
327			</div>
328	g2boojum	1.6	<div class="section">
329			<h1><a class="toc-backref" href="#id5" id="specification" name="specification">Specification</a></h1>
330	g2boojum	1.1	<p>ATs should basically be treated as staff. This includes the following changes
331			to the current situation:</p>
332			<ul class="simple">
333	hparker	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	g2boojum	1.1	</ul>
340	hparker	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>
348	blubb	1.2	<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>
