GNOME accounts



Dear students,

you probably want to commit your work to the project you are working on
and therefore you have two possibilites:

      * put each patch on the bug tracking system
        (http://bugzilla.gnome.org/)
      * get a git account and commit the patch by yourself

Of course you get a lot of power but also responsability with a GNOME
git account, as you theoretically could work on every project hosted on
GNOME git. We also like the idea to have the git account as a status
symbol, so please talk with your mentor first and just apply for a git
account if your mentor is ok with that. So, this is not "hey i get a
free account, to ..." but more one of the most powerful things you will
get as a GNOME developer.

If it is determined you need a git account, please discuss with your
mentor the appropriate branch to commit your changes and any commit
policies followed by that module.

To apply for a git account read the following:

http://live.gnome.org/NewAccounts

Please _read_ it if you want to get an account ;) the sysadmins
do not want to reject every one of you because you choose the wrong
nickname, have a too short ssh key, ...

Again:
It is no problem to get a git account, but please think before applying
and talk with your mentor about it.
