[Women-of-openstack] Query on Women of OpenStack lightweight mentoring program

Hi Mahati,
1.  We didn't do a separate call for mentees.  Between the Upstream
University and the Speed Mentoring session, as well as some others hearing
about the program, we had quite a few mentees signed up.  After the summit
we will continue to match people, so if mentees don't find a mentor at the
Speed Mentoring session or upstream, we'll still work to make sure they
have a mentor.
2. The questionnaire is the same for mentors and mentees.

Our goal is to match all the mentees in the program, but right now we have
137 total people signed up and we've matched about half of them.  So we
have a lot of work ahead of us, certainly we're seeing even without
advertising that mentees are signing up much faster than mentors, so that's
why in our public calls we focus on asking for mentors.

Thanks for spreading the word about the mentoring program!  We're always
happy for new signups.
Sincerely,
Emily Kate Hugenbruch

            mentoring program



Hello everyone,

Me, Victoria and Rossella are doing a talk on Mentoring at the Austin
summit. We'd like to spread the word about WOS lightweight mentoring
program as well through the talk. If someone could address the queries
below, it'll be great.

I'm aware there was a call for mentors (via a questionnaire format) and
that we now have mentors signed up for the program. There is also going to
be speed mentoring at the summit where mentees get to interact with
mentors. My query is:

1) Was there also a sign up for mentees? Or are mentees going to
participate in the mentoring program at the summit, fill out a survey and
post that there will be pairing up with mentors?

2) Is the survey at mentoring program going to be for both mentors and
mentees?

Thanks your time!
