Hello All,<div><br></div><div>So as I had announced previously Asst. Professor Becka Morgan at Western Oregon University will be holding a new class in the Winter Term focusing on contributing to Ubuntu. As such she reached out to Ubuntu Oregon LoCo seeking mentors for her students to help guide them in contributing and learning the in's and out's of contributing to a Free Open Source Software Project.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I'm hoping to find a few more mentors 5-10 would be nice that way we have enough to cover her students. Mentoring will be done virtually via E-mail, Skype, Google Hangout, Google Docs, Etc. The focus will be showing and mentoring the students on how to contribute to Ubuntu via Documentation, Bug Triage and Support. Additionally it would be helpful to give a good understanding on other areas where a individual can contribute. I understand our skills all vary as such if you can help in even one area your contribution to advocating for Ubuntu through a mentorship will be really valuable.</div>
<div><br></div><div>If you are interested in contributing to this excellent project please fill out this Google Docs Form:</div><div><a href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?hl=en_US&pli=1&formkey=dFBtb21RSGdPSWNHTHpYU3FfbzlEMEE6MQ#gid=0">https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?hl=en_US&pli=1&formkey=dFBtb21RSGdPSWNHTHpYU3FfbzlEMEE6MQ#gid=0</a></div>
<div><br></div><div>I will be in touch with those who complete the form as we get closer to the Winter Term in January.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>Sincerely,</div><div><br></div><div>Benjamin Kerensa</div><div>
