Maybe some of us would like to mentor other members of the community. Some say it’s a good idea to get to know each other. Write down if you’re down for mentoring other people. My proposed format is:
- Domain: bikeshedding, yak shaving
- Location: remote
- How to get in touch: jsmith@example.com
- Notes: Paid in snacks
Helpful template below:
* *Domain*: bikeshedding, yak shaving
* *Location*: remote
* *How to get in touch*: jsmith@example.com
- *Notes*: Paid in snacks
This comes off more like self promotion than an offer to provide mentorship.
To me it seems like both, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing.
I did a quick rain-check on the IRC channel if such a post is okay with us - all I got was one thumb up. But myself I wasn’t sure if this would fly. My only line of defense is that I guess we could both agree that there exist more powerful and direct ways of self-promotion.
Apologies for the badly formatted link; the past is old enough that I can’t edit it any more.
