Comment 1 Sven Vermeulen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-04-20 07:42:03 UTC
Recruitment team: Stuart has been succesfully working with the Gentoo Documentation team, providing good work with the MIPS documentation. As a result, we would like Stuart to start with the next phase in the documentation recruitment, which is to allow read-only CVS access to the Gentoo Documentation, allowing him to create commit-ready patches.

During this phase, all his patches will be either verbatimly committed by full-time documentation devs or refused with a lengthy but constructive note as to why.
Comment 2 Joshua Kinard gentoo-dev 2005-05-14 22:35:03 UTC
Ping: Any update on Redhatter's quiz status by chance?
Comment 3 Tom Martin (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-05-15 00:12:23 UTC
Sorry about the delay. I'll run through the quizzes ASAP.
Comment 4 Xavier Neys (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-05-17 08:31:25 UTC
Reminder: request is for read-only CVS as far as GDP is concerned.

Stuart should submit more patches and then take the GDP quiz at
http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/gdp/doc/doc-quiz.xml
before moving on with GDP recruitment as decribed in
http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/gdp/doc/doc-policy.xml#doc_chap4
Comment 5 Stuart Longland (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2005-05-20 19:44:36 UTC
Hi,

Don't mean to sound impatient, just wondering how preparations are going?

I have attempted the documentation quiz... haven't actually passed it yet, but
seeing as I've got 5 assignments for university on the go, I've put that on one
side.  I'm planning to retry this once my exams are over. (around 28th June... I
might be able to get near it sooner, but no promises there)

At this point... my priority here, is mainly getting the 2005.0 stages for
Cobalt servers, up on Gentoo servers where users can test them.  At the moment,
they are hosted on my server here[1], however it is on a slow link.  16kB/s is
the max I can guarantee, assuming one user at a time, which is fine for a
website, but lousy for anything big (>10MB).  I don't really mind where they get
put (either another dev mirroring them, or in my own devspace), just so long as
they're available for download.

If need be, we could press on, and come back to do the documentation -- as
everything there is more or less in order (for the moment).  I've got some more
documentation to commit (namely a Gentoo/MIPS FAQ I've been working on) and when
there's time, I'll complete that, and commit it.  I've also been working on ways
to improve the netbooting procedure (which I'm not completely happy with), and
of course, that section of the handbook, will be updated once I figure out the
full details.

I'm online (IRC) if you have any queries.

Regards,
Stuart Longland

Stuart has time for Gentoo only on weekends and currently is busy mostly with releng work in MIPS department, that's why his commit rates have fallen.

He's still an active developer though and this means this bug can be closed.

Back in April, Stuart emailed council@ and mips@ saying

I think it's time to retire him. Stuart, please confirm.
