Interested in being a Mentor?

We're looking for mentors from all programming languages and other technical arenas, experienced speakers, conference organizers and others to join us in our mission.

Being a mentor might be as little as answering questions on the mailing list, or IRC. Or you might do Skype chats with people in need of help coaching, lead or participate in local meetups, Google+ Hangouts or other areas. You can put in as much or as little time as you want.

Want to sign up?

It's simple! Subscribe to the list, and send an introduction email including a brief bio, experience, and where you'd like to help. Rather than waiting for someone else to add you to this page - after you subscribe to the list - do a pull request to add yourself to this page!
