Hi everyone,
We've been meaning to restart the mentoring project for a bit[1]. We now have a few extra cycles to work on this. The original project (now inactive) was aimed at helping prospective contributors find contributors who were happy to volunteer their time to help them out[2]. Having a mentor that one can work with greatly improves the onboarding experience. (When I'd started all those years ago, I had a few folks from Fedora India helping me out :))
I think it was set up quite well, and we simply need to restart it with a few tweaks, some fresh marketing?
What do folks think? We have a few tickets filed about it already[3].
Would a few folks like to take the lead on this? A few wranglers that can keep progress ticking and remind the rest of us to do our homework would be awesome!
(I'm afraid I haven't cycles at the moment to do it myself :()

The tickets on Pagure reminded me of a few things:
- the original project was targeted at students, but we needn't keep that constraint - this should not be confused with the mentoring process the ambassadors follow.

Sounds awesome. I can't take lead on it, but I'm happy to support.

Maybe Ben, our new program manager, can help with the "keep progress ticking and reminding" part?
