<br>
I was reading over a IMHO insightful hacker news thread last night:<br>
<br>
<a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8068547" target="_blank">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8068547</a><br>
<br>
Labeled/titled: 'I made a patch for Mozilla, and you can do it too'<br>
<br>
It made me wonder what kind of mentoring support are we as a community offering to newbies (a random google search for 'openstack mentoring' shows mentors for GSoC, mentors for interns, outreach for women... but no mention of mentors as a way for everyone to get involved)?<br>
<br>
Looking at the comments in that hacker news thread, the article itself it seems like mentoring is stressed over and over as the way to get involved.<br>
<br>
Has there been ongoing efforts to establish such a program (I know there is training work that has been worked on, but that's not exactly the same).<br>
<br>
Thoughts, comments...?<br>
<br>
