Need a blog post on mentorship.

[anistark]

Some Notes:

• If anybody is needs help to look at their cfp before submitting.
• Refer to good cfp writing practice.
• They can join zulip or via emails/calls ask us specific questions that they are stuck with.

Reiterating the questions by @vipulgupta2048 on Zulip:

1. How does one get help from mentors, do we have a process in place?
2. Calls? Do we provide calling to ask questions on things folks are stuck on?
3. Do we have some sample talk proposals that can be used as examples?

1. How does one get help from mentors, do we have a process in place?

If need any help with CFP, please join pycon India zulip and drop a message in pre-cfp topic of mentorship stream. You should get a response from the team and you will be asked to share a doc with comment access to a mentor (in a private message) who will help you polish the draft. If you don't get any response in 48 hours, please send a direct message to @siddharthvipul. If text-based communication is not working for you, we also have a call scheduled every Saturday 1500 IST to 1700 IST where we will try to help you with the draft.

2. Calls? Do we provide calling to ask questions on things folks are stuck on?

Yes but it's not on-demand or 1:1. It's a scheduled call open for all.

3. Do we have some sample talk proposals that can be used as examples?

@abhishekmishragithub I remember you mentioning that there are some materials. Can you please share them

[siddharthvipul]
