Sorry , for interruption between the mentors , But can i know except rolling the dice , What are the things that a mentor should know and after how many contribution ,they can go for this prestigious Summit And why there is rolling of dice rather then a formal written format for it and a review of best admin to represent Debian in Mentor summit .
I know , i am not mentor and i shouldn't interfere in this matter but , as a part of Debian community . I am just asking some questions.
