Hi John, for me it is close to what JB described:
1. be there when needed (how do I create a git repo? how do I ask a JIRA?Why do I need X?....). Even documented, having somebody you can ask more directly is often valuable. 2. ensure the releases are legal (+ respect mandatory ASF rules + point out not mandatory but recommanded rules) 3. be there to remind community is important and not only code to prepare a good graduation Romain Manni-Bucau @rmannibucau <https://twitter.com/rmannibucau> | Blog <https://rmannibucau.metawerx.net/> | Old Blog <http://rmannibucau.wordpress.com> | Github <https://github.com/rmannibucau> | LinkedIn <https://www.linkedin.com/in/rmannibucau> | Book <https://www.packtpub.com/application-development/java-ee-8-high-performance> 2018-04-03 7:31 GMT+02:00 Jean-Baptiste Onofré <j...@nanthrax.net>: > Hi John, > > IMHO, a mentor is not necessary involved in the project technics/codebase > (it's > actually a bonus). > > As a mentor, I'm focusing: > 1.
