Re: [openstack-dev] [PTLs][all][mentoring] Mentors needed in specific technical areas
Amrith, This is a separate program from outreachy. Typically outreachy is more of an internship. This program is supposed to be more of a "we meet for an hour once a week to go over some questions" or "I'm stuck on what to work on next, can you suggest a few things". Something more lightweight for the mentors and mentees. Thanks for noticing the links. One should've pointed to https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BxtM4AiszlEyVkEtdktmWjBPN3c/view. We do have a wiki page for mentoring where we're listing the different types of mentoring, so if projects have links for newcomers, you can add them here: https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Mentors We're debating how to best lay out the page right now, but eventually we'll move it to a more permanent place than a wiki. Thanks!

Mentors should be regular contributors to a project, with an interest in helping new people and about 4 hours a month for mentoring.

I took your response of "potential contributors to get involved with a specific project so that mentoring can happen organically" out of context from just the scope of Nova.

Auggy, This is a great wiki page and would love to see a high level "OpenStack Mentoring" page with links to projects that have this kind of "beginners guide". I'll try and do something similar for Trove but you've set the bar very high. -amrith > -Original Message- > From: Augustina Ragwitz [mailto:aragwitz.li...@pobox.com] > Sent: Tuesday, May 24, 2016 3:55 PM > To: OpenStack Development Mailing List > Subject: Re: [openstack-dev] [PTLs][all][mentoring] Mentors needed in > specific technical areas > > Hi Emily, > > I'm the Nova Mentoring Czar and we have a Wiki page with a list of > projects that would be good for new contributors: > https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/Nova/Mentoring > > For Nova, I'd encourage potential contributors to get involved with a > specific project so that mentoring can happen organically.
