for Open Source projects
» ASF Mentoring Programme» Adapting and rolling out to provide scaffolded progression through the ASF
» Open to anyone
» All year round, All locations
» Not just coding
» Voluntary, not paid

How does the ASF Mentoring Programme Work?» Mentee Support Mechanisms
» Central repository for documentation to help navigate processes» Mailing list to ask process-based questions
» Mentoring process» ASF publishes project issues available for mentees» Mentee identifies a project issue to work on» Mentee completes an application to work on the project and submits it to the
Community Development (ComDev) team via the mailing list »
» If successful, ComDev seeks a mentor and hands over to project community.» Feedback is provided by mentors in a mid-term and a full-term report
»
» Technical work is done in the project mailing list ComDev supporting process

How does the ASF MP fit into the OpenSE framework?
» Four stages of learning defined in the Learning Support Framework (LSF):
» 1. Theoretical concepts
» 2. External Case Studies
» 3. Internal Case Studies
» 4. OpenSE project learners engage with a real project

How does the ASF MP fit into the OpenSE framework?
» OpenSE learning assistants and web site need to:» Introduce the concept of mentoring:
» Roles and their expectations» Management processes

ASF and OpenSE Processes» RSS feed publishes projects onto OpenSE site
» Currently just a list of one line links, organise into categories » Categories can be fed through from ASF site
build-management mail content network-client database network-server graphics regexp http testing httpd-module virtual-machine javaee web-framework library xml
» Categories top level projects name and description description of mentored projects available within those TLPs

OpenSE and the ASF MP
Discussion
» Is this going to provide what is needed within OpenSE, if not what needs to be altered and how?
» Opportunity to shape the ASF programme to more closely meet OpenSE needs
» Number of issues currently on the feed: 68. How many required?
