Description Chí-Thanh Christopher Nguyễn gentoo-dev 2013-12-05 01:18:30 UTC
We would like for Andrew to become a dev.

He has been helping with maintenance of voip related packages (linphone and mediastreamer). After reviewing his contributions, hasufell and I think this is the logical step.

I will be his mentor, hasufell will assist in mentoring.

Hi,

There are other recruits before you so it may take sometime (not a lot) for a recruiter to become free and handle this bug. In the meantime, this should not stop you on working on the end-quiz. We will need both to complete the review sessions. Once approved by your mentor, please send it to us.
Comment 4 Andrew Savchenko gentoo-dev 2013-12-22 14:04:33 UTC
Hello,

OK, I'll work on the end-quiz then.

However, looks like quiz docs should be updated, ATM they state that end-quiz must be completed at the end of mentoring period (or earlier at developers opinion):
http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/devrel/quiz/
"Once the mentoring period is completed (or during the mentoring period, at the developer's option) the developer must also submit the end of mentoring quiz."

So this statement let me to assume that I don't need to complete end-quiz before the first interview.

This is a common misunderstanding. When the docs claim at the end of the monitoring process, they mean after you had some time to work with your mentors. The review process with a recruiter should happen when the mentoring process is over, or reaching it's end. Thus, the end quiz should be completed "before" the recruitment starts.

I updated the docs like this

Dear all,

I'd like to inform you that I'll be unavailable from July 11th till July 28th.
It is most likely I'll be offline during this period. (Just in case you have plans to arrange some quiz discussion or other appointment during mentioned time interval.)

I know you are involved in the summer of code project, but you still didn't commit anything and your packages need some attention... should we proceed with the reassignment then? :/

Hi!

I right now I'm travelling, so my options are limited and I've set up devaway appropriately. I'll return at 12th July.

Since I already told many times I'll commit something let's set up the deadline by 16th July 0:00 UTC. If I'll make no commits by than, start reassignment.

[sorry, some brother glitch resulted in the message being sent prematurely]

As for linphone update: can't push to the tree right now due to dep on net-libs/ortp update which is maintained by another dev. I'm preparing this update with dependencies now, thanks to rion's overlay this is much easier than from scratch, but still requires some work.

Sorry for inactivity: a combination of health problems and other
issues. I'm working on imlib2 update. Will try to commit within a
week.

I will consider dropping some packages, e.g. pygame_sdl2. The only
motivation for me to support this package was renpy, which is not
in the tree now due to python2 removal.

Though renpy 8 now supports python3, to be realistic I don't have
resources to readd and support it. Maybe I should write a call on
gentoo-dev for those interested in renpy games.

Best regards,

Comment 37 Andrew Savchenko gentoo-dev 2023-03-04 21:21:08 UTC
As for e-mail problems: I can receive messages via pop3, but can't send them via smtp:

[23:23:40] ESMTP> AUTH PLAIN ********
[23:23:42] ESMTP< 535 5.7.8 Error: authentication failed: authentication failure

I use sylpheed-3.7.0.

My guess that there is something wrong with SPF validation of this e-mail as described in the wiki:https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Project:Infrastructure/Developer_E-Mail#Sender_Policy_Framework

Though I was unable to find what exactly is wrong with outgoing e-mail (error message from the server is not suitable for debugging), how to explicitly set up sylpheed to work with Gentoo SPF validation or how to set sylpheed to work with another MTA.

Help is welcome, thank you.
