Open Stack

Hi Anne,
I don't think it causes trouble to have a signup and take walk-ins.  Just
that eliminating the mentee signup form might make the event a little
easier.
Thanks for the offer to promote on social.  I think after we have the
signup forms set up it would be great to have some tweets, etc.
Sincerely,

Hi Emily,

1) Always glad to hear speed mentoring is happening—let me know how we can
help promote this on social (date, sign ups, etc)

2) Does it cause too much trouble if you have _both_ a mentee sign up and
take walk ins? I would only advertise the walk-on option the week of the
Summit. You might catch someone with a gap in their schedule who suddenly
feels inspired to join!

      Emily,

      I'm on both sides of the fence on not having a mentee sign up.

      pro:
      You know who's coming(to some degree, you'll always have no shows and
      drop ins)
      You know how many of each type of mentor you'll need (this might be
      solved by letting mentors being able to select multiple areas so you
      can shuffle on the fly)

      con:
      You won't know who, if anyone is coming(or atleast planning to)
      You might exceed available resources (seats or even mentors)

      Thanks,

      Amy

        Hi,
        As you might know, we're going to be holding the Speed Mentoring
        session at the Sydney summit as a regular lunch session (not
        sponsored). We'd like to get the signup sheet out soon and we were
        thinking of doing things a bit differently:
              Have separate signup forms for mentors and mentees
              Mentee signup form fields
                    Area of interest: career, technical, community
                    Email (really as a just in case contact)
              Mentors
                    Ask for Name, Job Title, Area of interest, and email
                    Instead of doing baseball cards, just do nametags for
                    mentors

              This will help the event to be a little more lightweight.
              Another thing we talked about was possibly not even having a
              mentee signup form and just taking anyone who came in.
              Thoughts or suggestions? Thanks!
