Unless I am mistaken, any Gentoo developer is free to open a "New |
16 |
developer" bug for consideration by our recruiters team, as long |
17 |
as he is willing to mentor the recruit. I see no reason for the |
18 |
sci team to impose additional restrictions upon its members. I |
19 |
think we can trust the judgement of the mentoring dev on this. |

I am ready to mentor a candidate. I have the necessary free time |
22 |
right now and will have it for a few months. I have already |
23 |
mentored someone once and found it a very rewarding experience. |

Since everybody agrees that we need more hands, I asked |
26 |
recruiters to update the Staffing Needs on the gentoo.org Web |
27 |
site to reflect this. |
