Newcomers Need You, How to Be A Good Mentor

You still remember the first time you've heard the word OpenStack, the efforts you had to make to wrap your head around it and to get your first patch merged. Now you know enough to be able to teach other people and put them up to speed. You would like to be a mentor but you are not sure about how time consuming it might be, you still have doubts and questions. In this session we will try to answer them. We will give advices based on our experience mentoring in the Outreachy and Google Summer of Code programs, suggest some strategies and list the most common mistakes a new mentor does.


What can I expect to learn?

Attendees will learn different ways to mentor and will come out from this session with the right tools to help the community by enhancing the onboarding process. Also, they will learn about the different internship programs we have been running for a while now within OpenStack, precisely, Outreachy and Google Summer of Code.
