Joining

Onboarding
Once a new member is approved for the “Core Contributors” group, the process of onboarding can start. The first step of this process is to be assigned an onboarding “buddy”. The “buddy” will help and support you with the process, guide you through the day-to-day processes and instill you with the values and culture of the organization. The onboarding also includes trivial IT operations actions as well as actions to kick-start collaboration with other contributors. The new contributor should open a new onboarding issue on the LSF organizational repository, and follow the checklist to completion. This detailed checklist contains all actions that need to happen so that the new contributor is fully enabled.
