Fedora Activity Day on Collaboration in Sao Paulo
About
This FAD is the kickoff meeting for a long calendar of activities planned for Brazil during FY14.
Objectives
In this first meeting we're going to have sessions presented by Fedora Ambassadors and Red Hat employees on how to contribute to the project, focusing on requirements and procedures. Our main objective is provide all information and resources necessary so that people can get involved and contribute with Fedora.
Besides the team participating to this first FAD it is our intention to create a mentorship program so that new contributors can have their progress assisted by other experienced volunteers.
Deliverable
There are some expected deliverable for this Fedora Activity Day:
- Have new contributors properly enabled to collaborate, i.e with functional FAS accounts, personal wiki pages and enrolled with the SIGs
- Determine mentors for each new contributors so that they work and progress can be followed
- Find adopters for orphan packages in FAD
- If time permits split team in groups and work 2-3 hours in activities such as packaging, translation and QA
