Great! I haven't heard the episode yet, hopefully sometime soon! Update on current program: Our mid term was a Coding dojo: http://blog.tathagata.me/2015/05/blog-post.html
Thanks to Nick Tollervey for organizing Coding Dojo at PyCon so that we were able to effortlessly fork it for the Mentorship program. Next we are planning to have a hackathon as a final of the mentorship program - where developers outside the mentorship program can work together with the mentor and mentees. I'll have create page on chipy.org with details on running the mentorship program. Soon ;) On Tue, May 12, 2015 at 4:34 PM Brian Ray <[email protected]> wrote: > Saw this mention (thanks Ned) at 22:30: > http://podcastinit.com/episode-5-ned-batchelder.html > > Any updates on how the second season of our mentorship is going T?
