Open Stack

That's very fair, to establish it based on timing, and that would help
avoid burnout.  You're right that mentors are our most precious resource
here.
For graduation criteria, we had been thinking more along the lines of:
   Did the mentee achieve a goal that they wanted to, like getting a piece
   of code done, or getting to a new job?
   Is the mentee ready to be a mentor themselves?
But we were planning to continue the discussion tomorrow, so we'll
definitely bring up the 6 month timeframe suggestion then.

FYI, our meeting etherpad, if anyone wants to see the log of our
discussions on the topic
https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/WOS_mentoring_12_3, or if you have more
suggestions for us to discuss at our Wednesday meeting.
Thanks!

  Hi Anne,
  That's a great point, and the mentoring team has been talking about
  "graduation criteria".  We are hoping to have something out on that
  before the Barcelona summit.  If you have any suggestions, we'd be happy
  to hear them.

I think in my case it's not so much graduation criteria (I'm not judging my
mentee) but releasing mentors to mentor others since that's the resource
we're running out of and want to treat like gold. :)

I could see timing as being a decent criteria for defining each program.
Then all I'd suggest is -- Duration: six months between Summits as the
definition for WOO light-weight mentoring + Speed-mentoring.

  Thanks!

  Thanks for all the efforts.

  One outcome I'd like to see from the WOO mentoring is a duration and
  end-date for the mentoring. Should it be close to the 3-months of the
  Outreachy program, or 6 months, Summit-to-Summit, or for a year? By
  letting mentors know when they are freed from one mentoring commitment
  they can then be ready for another round.

  Thanks,
  Anne

     Hi Victoria,
     I'll send you an invite to the mentoring committee meetings on
     Wednesdays. Ildiko actually contacted me yesterday to start to talk a
     bit about Upstream training and the lightweight mentoring, and next
     Wednesday we're set to start talking about Speed Mentoring. We have
     started to talk a bit at our meetings about how we can interact with
     other mentoring initiatives in the community, like Hackathons, etc.
     Thanks for bringing this up, we definitely need to get a united
     approach for mentoring.

     Hi all,

     The OpenStack Summit is rapidly approaching and I wanted to chat about
     the different mentoring efforts that are happening in the OpenStack
     community before it in order to unite forces and make the best for all
     of them.

     As the OpenStack Summit in Austin we had

     - Mentoring within internships like Outreachy and Google Summer of
     Code
     -- Duration: 3 month length
     -- Target: Underrepresented groups/Students respectively interested in
     contributing to OpenStack
     -- Mentors: Volunteers each round, not fixed list
     -- Coordinators: vkmc, mahatic, devdatta, dims
     - WOO light-weight mentoring + Speed-mentoring
     -- Duration: Not defined
     -- Target: People getting involved with OpenStack, with no prior
     experience in contributing to open source
     -- Mentors: DB of mentors
     -- Coordinators: ekhugen
     - Upstream Training
     -- Duration: 2 days training before OpenStack Summit
     -- Target: People getting involved with OpenStack, with no prior
     experience in contributing to open source
     -- Mentors: Volunteers each edition, not fixed list
     -- Coordinators: Volunteers each edition, not sure how this is defined

     How can we merge all the efforts together?

     Now, with regards to Upstream Training for the OpenStack Summit. Is
     there any update about this training? Who is taking the lead this
     time? I see that [0] shows information from latest round. Ildiko and I
     wanted to join this edition too and we want to be ready to help
     whenever we can with it.

     Best,

     Victoria
