My Free Software Activities in Nov 2021

今月は、スポンサーアップロードしたり、lintianにPR投げたりちまちまと活動した。 Debian勉強会でOSS Gateオンボーディングの実施報告をしたというのもあった。

My Free Software Activities in Oct 2021

今月のハイライトはOSS Gateオンボーディングが一区切りついたことか。 そのときの知見を活かそうとDebianの薄い本の原稿を書き始めたりしたのだが、あんまりすすんでいない。

PipewireでaptX使えるようにしようかと思って、libfreeaptxのパッケージングをしたが、 SBC XQで十分じゃないかという気持ちになった。

Sharing mentoring a new Debian contributor experience, lots of fun

PlanetDebian

I recently did mentoring a new Debian contributor. This is carried out in a framework with OSS Gate on-boarding.

oss-gate.github.io

In "OSS Gate on-boarding", recruit a new contributor who want to work on continuously. Then, corporation sponsor its employee as a mentor. Thus, employees can do it as a one of their job.

During Aug - Oct period, I worked with a new debian contributor every 2h in a week. This experience is lots of fun, and learned a new things for me.

The most important point is: a new Debian contributor aimed to do their work continuously even though mentoring period has finished.

So, some of the work has been finished, but not for all. I tried to transfer knowledge for it.

I'm looking forward that he makes things forward in consultation with other person's help.

Here is the report about my activity as a mentor.

First OSS Gate onboarding (The article is written by Japanese)

The original blog entry is written by Japanese, I don't afford to translate it, so just paste link to google translate for your hints

I hope someone can do a similar attempt too!

For the record, I worked with a new Debian contributor about:

Latest topics about fabre.debian.net

PlanetDebian

Aug 28, 2021, I gave a short talk about "Latest topics about fabre.debian.net" at DebConf21.

You can see the presentation slide here:

slide.rabbit-shocker.org

Short talk explanation is here:

debconf21.debconf.org

In this talk, I've explained mainly 3 topics

  • Domain migration to debian.net subdomain - fabre.debian.net
  • Sponsorship for fabre.debian.net
  • Useful use cases of fabre.debian.net

I've sent a pre-recorded video in advance, it is ok, but there is trouble with the mic during the session. :-(

The recorded video will be available on the talk detail page soon.
