to be a mentor along with this new contributor to work closely with
him. For
example doing some small tasks like documentation, wiki, content,
for
the
Infrastructure team that is some menial basic things. As they say
you
have
to learn how to follow before you can lead.
Whenever I sponsor someone into Infrastructure groups, it's with a clear task/project in mind. Once you've accomplished that task, there's limitless other tasks to be accomplished, and you gradually "move up the ranks". so to speak, in terms of responsibility.
Does that make it more clear?
That plus Mike's earlier feedback definitely set me straight. I had come in (even after reading the docs) thinking that it was 'look around, find where you'd like to work, get to know those people, ask to work with them, pick up tasks, Profit!!!'. Mike's got me started in the right order despite that misunderstanding. :)
In retrospect, it makes sense. OSS projects I've worked on before I got started with b/c of a fix to a script or something that I brought to a list. I asked questions, did the work, and then presented it up for review.
