Mentors

Mentors are people who are interested in helping LoCo teams in need. Remember that time when your team was having a hard time getting started? Well, many teams today in the US are going through those same things, and could use your help and advice -- all in the spirit of Ubuntu!

Requesting a Mentor

Does your team need a mentor? Email Elizabeth Krumbach at lyz@ubuntu.com or ask on the US Teams Mailing List or drop by #ubuntu-us and ask!

Mentor Expectations

What is the job of a US Teams Mentor?

A Team Mentor is tasked with working with an existing person (or group of people) who are interested in moving their team toward Getting Approved. The mentor is a helper who will answer questions posed by the team regarding a variety of aspects related to the running of a LoCo team, to assist getting resources properly allocated, to track down lost team leaders and to advise when it comes for the team to seek approval.

A Team Mentor is not there to do all the work for the team. A successful team must have driven members who will "do the legwork" to make a team succeed, a mentor can only take them part of the way.
