<br>
I was reading over a IMHO insightful hacker news thread last night:<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></blockquote><div><br></div><div>I'll let Stefano answer further, but yes, we've discussed a centralized mentoring program for a year or so. I'm not sure we have enough mentors available, there are certainly plenty of people seeking and needing mentoring. So he can elaborate more on our current thinking of how we'd overcome the imbalance and get more centralized coordination in this area.</div>
