Great question Josh! Have been doing a lot of mentoring within IBM for OpenStack and have now been asked to formalize some of that work. Not surprised there is an external need as well. Anne and Stefano. Let me know if the kids anything I can do to help. Jay Hi all, I was reading over a IMHO insightful hacker news thread last night: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8068547 Labeled/titled: 'I made a patch for Mozilla, and you can do it too' 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)? 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. 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). Thoughts, comments...? -Josh _______________________________________________ OpenStack-dev mailing list OpenStack-dev at lists.openstack.org http://lists.openstack.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openstack-dev -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
