Mentors Program - mentees wanted (Was: Debian Women Mentors Program - mentors wanted...)
Hi Everyone,
The Debian Women Mentoring Program is getting off the ground :)
Thankyou very much to those who have volunteered to potentially mentor
people in their fields of interest. I was pleasantly suprised by the
response to that initial call.
There is a new page on the website for the mentoring program:
http://women.alioth.debian.org/mentoring/
It's pretty simple at the moment - we are going to grow this thing as
needed if and when it works. So suggestions and ideas will be
appreciated, if you have any. (Thanks very much to Colleen for making
that webpage.)
At this point I would like to ask if there are people who would like to
be mentored by someone, to help with their involvement with Debian. We
have volunteers to help with everything from writing bug reports to
translating to packaging to quality control. So if you have an interest
in contributing to Debian in some way, but need a bit of a hand getting
started with it, now is your chance to be matched with someone who wants
to help out.
People who would like to be matched with a mentor can contact me
directly at this stage. Please have a read of the mentoring webpage
first - it outlines the kinds of things you should expect out of the
mentoring program, and lists the available mentors and their areas of
interest.
Helen.
