Engagement with Red Hat projects
Initial engagement
When a community consultant parachutes in to a new project, such as an upstream, these are the trail markers to look for:
- Ease of install, configuration
- Ease of getting help in a jam
- Attraction to participation -- can I do things on $FOO as a potentially new contributor?
- Joining the project -- how easy, what does it entail, what do I get?
- Barriers to commit rights in the code
- Clarity of a public roadmap
