There's been a mentoring program inside the Debian Women project since 2004. This program got a few people at the beginning, but very soon we were out of mentees. There was an attempt to revive it at some point, but the problem was the same, there weren't enough mentees. However, I do think that it's a good idea, and maybe the lack of interest was due to lack of enough "marketing" about the program. I agree that it could be a good thing to try out in order to get more people to help in Debian. This idea, as well as many other ideas that we are discussing during the campaign, doesn't actually require the DPL intervention. What's needed to put this into motion is a group of potential mentors, a point of contact for the potential mentees, and a webpage or the like to advertise the program. Anyone with enough motivation can start it. -- Besos, Marga -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-vote-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
