| 78 |
<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> |
| 84 |
</div> |
| 85 |
<div class="section" id="specification"> |
| 86 |
<h1><a class="toc-backref" href="#id5" name="specification">Specification</a></h1> |
| 87 |
<p>ATs should basically be treated as staff. This includes the following changes |
| 88 |
to the current situation:</p> |
| 89 |
<ul class="simple"> |
| 90 |
<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 |
</ul> |
| 97 |
<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> |
| 105 |
<p>Also, the idea of an arch tester as a trustworthy user who is able to test |
| 106 |
critical changes (such as hard masked software branches), could be expanded |
| 107 |
to other herds. These 'ATs' wouldn't be called arch testers as the 'arch' is |
| 108 |
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 |
<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> |
