Why Mentoring ?

What to expect from the mentor

  • Will help you get familiar with the open source community,

and help you interact with the existent community

– Quickly understand a project’s dynamics – Identify project areas that might require better support — and which are aligned with a new user’s skills – Ask the right questions with enough information that others can provide helpful guidance – Sometimes even navigate the project politics

  • Your mentor might also help with technical questions/issues,

but this is not a requirement

Finding project Ideas at Apache

Apache projects track issues in JIRA

  • Identify available tasks based on tags (mentoring, gsoc2016, etc)
  • Mentors are usually the jira reporters
  • Have open discussion via the JIRA or on the project dev mailing list

Finding project Ideas in general

If you know what you want

  • Usually other organizations/projects have their own jira

If just want something generic

  • Open hatch might be of help
