Mentoring Systems Within the Community

[José Antonio Rey]

Incorrect.

Why is is that people keep thinking that UBT was to train new people
into the OS? We have clearly stated, several times, that it was to train
new *contributors* into the community. It served its purpose (you can
ask people like Charles or Elfy, who were part of it) and the workflow
wasn't working anymore. Things have a lifecycle and UBT had its own.

As I see it, Linux Padawan is to assist new *users* and not
contributors. So, what are you focusing on here? End-users or
contributors? Please clarify.
