Panel Discussion: Creating Your Community Mentorship Program - Stephanie Taylor, Google; Abigail Cabunoc Mayes, GitHub; and Hong Phuc Dang, FOSSASIA; & Karen Sandler, Software Freedom Conservancy
Monday September 16, 2024 15:25 - 16:05 CEST
Hall M1 (Level 1)
Mentorship is key to bringing new people into your open source communities. There are large programs (Google Summer of Code, Outreachy) and many smaller programs that have successfully integrated new contributors into open source communities making them long term contributors. In this panel we’re going to discuss some of the things you need to think about when creating a new mentorship program (single or multi-community). From how to find the right mentors, have great beginner documentation ready, set expectations, where to advertise your program and plenty of time for Q&A.
