Assigning Mentors #27

Open mikeal opened 10 years ago

mikeal commented 10 years ago

I'd like to assign mentors to the sessions we've already committed to so that I can get an accurate count.

Remember, anyone mentoring a session is basically opting out of "attending" the conference. You'll have some time in the second day to go around and check stuff out but you won't be able to attend the regular sessions since you'll be mentoring them the entire time :)

Currently allotted:

I'd like 3 mentors per session which means the only ones that have enough are the Robots and OpenGL sessions.

The two proposed sessions may not happen. But, I don't want to assign Max or Isaac to a different session until we know that we aren't doing them.

I'd like the people already mentoring a session to request who they want to work with, whether they are already in the repo already or not. We need a good amount of general staff in addition to the mentors so I don't expect everyone who is staff in this repo to be a mentor.

That said, these are the people not currently mentoring a session that could mentor, if they want to:

Like I said, I'll need a good number of general staff, so if too much of this list becoes mentors I'll have to add more people as staff. Also, if someone isn't on the repo yet and you want them as a mentor we can make that happen as well.

Oh, and Jake Verbatten (@raynos) reached out and would also like to mentor so he's a good candidate.

i'm sorry @thlorenz this totally slipped. I'll get it updated today with all the new people.

thlorenz commented 10 years ago

np @mikeal it's not urgent :)

mikeal commented 10 years ago

ok, i just updated the website. if anyone isn't on it please let me know, GitHub doesn't give you a way to list collaborators by the time you added them so it's kind of hard to figure out who was added in the last month.

Today Feross contacted me offering to be a camp counselor. We're still short a person in NodeBase, NPM, Debugging and Browserify. I only know of Feross' WebRTC work so I don't know if he's a great fit for any of those session but I'd rather leave it up to the mentors.

thlorenz commented 10 years ago

@mikeal Feross was quite helpful with browserify (native buffer) etc. and uses browserify in a bunch of his projects.

So I'd consider him a good fit for the browserify session. I'm pretty sure @substack would agree.

mikeal commented 10 years ago

Added @feross, you're on the Browserify session :)

feross commented 10 years ago

Awesome, can't wait to help people learn about browserify!

@thlorenz's evangelism at NodeConf.eu last year is the only reason I gave it a try and got involved :) Will be cool to pay it forward :+1:

Looks like we have 5 people helping with robots at the moment; if that is too many, I'd be happy to be pivoted to opengl/browserify/anything really

rwaldron commented 10 years ago

@tmpvar should be: @olizilla, @alanshaw, @rockbot and you

mikeal commented 10 years ago

ya, if you want to hop on any of the sessions with only 2 people that would help tremendously.
