I love your enthusiasm, really awesome and infectious.
I had a long discussion with Ahmed about this. We came to a point where we
noticed that we as a community we end up giving classes and sessions but we
never apply it. We have done this in the past and we still want to do more.
This approach is good but not efficient. We are trying to grow
unorganically.
Let us start with ourselves. Each one of us here should try to fix a bug
and report by the end of this month what he fixed, reported or translated.
This way the community will know who is capable with what and thus  they
can approach those figures with questions. This eventually could lead to a
mentorship program.

What do you think?
Cheers
Seif
