No subject

yet, for those of you who don't know me), I really think that someone
who has completed the first step (junior part) of the mentoring
program can guide someone in the junior step.
Let's have a look at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MOTU/Mentoring/NewModel,
where you can find the details for the mentoring program (in our case
were are focussing on the junior program). There is a rought list of
some points that a mentee have to deal with before applying to uuc....
I agree that having done so, is not a review of technical expertise,
but I really think these are the common basics that are needed to
start in our community. And an uuc can lead someone in the junior
program (may be not the day he has been granted but after some
time...). And we all know that teaching, is one of the best way to
improve yourself...

Of course we lack mentors... and the shortage of mentors in the junior
program is a real problem that we are facing...

Thanks for starting discussion Scott.


To sum up, I really think there is a misunderstanding on the
requirements to become uuc.
If being around without doing much for some time is enough to become
uuc, then I agree uuc shouldn't be able to mentor.
But I really think that all applications received by the MC, and
everyone who have finished the junior process (or who will in the next
future) have the necessary background to take care of a junior
mentor...
It might be an important point to clarify... and then after of course
we will refine the mentoring program...
