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.

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
