Ubuntu Server Mentoring Program

[Serge Hallyn]

Hi,

it would probably help if you could say a bit more about your interests
and experience.  Do you have coding experience, what language?  Admin
experience?  Debian packaging?  What would you like to work on?

For the most part, hanging out on freenode#ubuntu-server and
freenode#ubuntu-devel and joining the weekly irc server team meeting
should give you an idea of things to work on.

In the past when at least I have tried to do more direct "mentoring"
it hasn't worked out well :)  self-guided works well, so long as you
feel free to ask questions when you have them.  (almost) everyone will
be more than happy to help on #ubuntu-server when you have questions.

Before you know it you might be the new resident expert on ldap
packaging and configuration :)

Good luck, hope to see you around!
