community that want to start contributing to open source projects. We will
provide mentorship during the day as well as git support and an
introduction to open source contributions.

We are looking for mentors and/or core developers/maintainers of open
source projects interested in taking part in the sprint and mentor the
attendees over the day.

two slots of 2 hours so you can choose between a 2 and 4 hours commitment

project to mentor on the day
