Greeters

Latest revision as of 03:11, 4 June 2012

[edit] Welcome to the Maemo Greeters Page

Edit: As of 04 June 2012, this program appears to have gone inactive with listed members either inactive or engaging in little recent activity on TMO. The last previous edit of this article occurred 12 April 2010 and may now be out of date. If this conclusion is incorrect please update this article accordingly.

This is a voluntary initiative by members of the maemo community.

Greeters here at meamo.org can be recognized by their distinctive (often multilingual) signatures within which are several useful links for the newcomer/beginner/curious. If you're new or curious, feel free to click through those links.

As well, Greeters are encouraged (but not expected) to perform typical help desk activities in talk.maemo.org.

Some notes for potential greeters:

• Try to remain courteous at all times
• This program is strictly voluntary
• There is no official status conferred by this "title"
• There are no offers or guarantees of any reward
• There will be no formal scoring of participation

Notes for newcomers:

• Please Thank any post that assists you, directly or indirectly
• Keep in mind that any Greeter is a volunteer
• Feel free to suggest ideas to any Greeter

It is expected that Greeter participation will result in Thanks from those who directly benefit, as well as anyone appreciative of the effort.

[edit] Original post from Texrat

(Post: http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=365594&postcount=1, in thread http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=33968)

After much discussion and deliberation, we are moving forward with testing the Maemo Greeters Brainstorm idea (see http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=32835). Note that the actual Brainstorm solution for this (#1) has not actually moved to the implementation stage as of this writing, but it will be.

The basic idea is that any member can volunteer for this activity, and it can be implemented by simply using the following (or similar) for your posting signature:

Hi! I'm a Maemo Greeter!

Useful links for newcomers: New members say hello, New users start here, Community subforum, Beginners' wiki page, Maemo5 101, Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

If I can help with anything else, just ask!  

In addition, participants are encouraged (but not expected) to perform typical help desk activities in talk.maemo.org.

Some notes for participants: Try to remain courteous at all times This program is strictly voluntary There is no official status conferred by this "title" There are no offers or guarantees of any reward There will be no formal scoring of participation

Notes for newcomers: Please Thank any post that assists you, directly or indirectly Keep in mind that any Greeter is a volunteer Feel free to suggest ideas to any Greeter

It is expected that Greeter participation will result in Thanks from those who directly benefit, as well as anyone appreciative of the effort.

Since this is a pilot, it is subject to change without notice, including dissolution of the program if it has too low or no participation, or there is no obvious benefit. Constructive feedback of all kinds is welcome. You may contact any Greeter, or me directly.

Let's make this work!

Thanks! And special thanks to Den in USA, whose shining example in New members say hello inspired this idea. You guys reward him by Thanking his greeting posts when you think of it.

[edit] Greeters signature suggestions

There is no yet official signature (the whole idea is making its baby steps, see brainstorm item) but here is the original version Texrat suggested:

Hi!  I'm a Maemo Greeter!
Useful links for newcomers: New members say hello , New users start here, Community subforum, Beginners' wiki page, Maemo5 101, Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

If I can help with anything else, just ask!  :)

[edit] Basic English version

Greeters can copy latest(hopefully!) version of signature from here and paste it to their signatures. It should work straight.

Hi!  I'm a Maemo Greeter!

[edit] Version Française

Les volontaires devraient utiliser une signature unique et distinctive. J'invite les francophones à donner des avis et à améliorer le texte ci dessous (discussion). Le texte comprend du code HTML et il est prêt pour être copié dans votre profil, sans aucune modification de votre part.

[edit] Versione Italiana

I volontari dovrebbero impiegare una firma uniforme e distintiva. Invitiamo i membri della comunità Maemo a migliorare il testo riportato nella casella sottostante (discussione su talk.maemo.org). Il testo contiene del codice HTML ed è pronto per essere copiato nel profilo dei volontari, senza alcuna necessità di apportare modifica.

Benvenuto! Se hai bisogno di aiuto, sono a disposizione.
Ecco dove iniziare (in inglese):
