++. This is a great idea. For those of us not on the #code4lib channel, what kinds of issues/challenges would there be in opening this up beyond IRC? (i.e. Twitter, Gchat, Skype, "real phone", etc.) ...and would anyone else be interested? -- Erin White Web Systems Librarian, VCU Libraries 804-827-3552 | [log in to unmask] | www.library.vcu.edu From: Matt McCollow <[log in to unmask]> To: [log in to unmask] Date: 06/04/2012 01:05 PM Subject: [CODE4LIB] Code4lib Mentorship Sign-up Sent by: Code for Libraries <[log in to unmask]> Hi all, We're looking to try out a mentorship program through the #code4lib channel on IRC Freenode. The idea is that experienced people who are willing to volunteer some time would provide 1-on-1 mentoring to those who would like to learn during an "Office hours" period, once a week. The idea is sort-of modelled on the Drupal project's Core Office Hours ( http://drupal.org/node/1242856). A sign-up page has been posted on the code4lib wiki ( http://wiki.code4lib.org/index.php/Mentorship), so if this sounds like something you'd like to contribute to, don't hesitate to add your name!
