I remember actively seeking out mentors and recruiters on irc for a while and not getting very far. I think that exposing recruitment to a wider audience than just the recruiters is a good idea, why limit ourselves to their bandwidth? This isn't a remark on the performance of the recruiters, just a note that more people means more bandwidth. I like the idea of having a wiki page of people willing to be mentors for each area (or in general). - -ZC -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.20 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJSImdFAAoJEKXdFCfdEflKq+cP+gIhD2zAR6CnVFVx7hmYvPKa n8Jkg5oCPgchqVPN3AtDqPXwTELSPXTasRJCToaembKYuhPiyO6py/dpo6nIeg/P 4WiLZb+ehCSWAUBMmAemsDoL3WftwrV9w6h1bWBytpbrJ6YZEyumVvHNqMi3r7vI +k54LZc+uurUEHFtPP6SC6kCHj9n0lD/4Biq1lsY/vwZFViHzuBhnTHBYBohy4lo rkB2/k/KvrJ6F9MXfc87A/PUxkU29+WKiul9A9te/X97QheeXXWptI4gEYFevVgT aUP8AfaY0YAD1+RpjyxDPxJ4cTqcL38Wic8ql6pzlV9nwAnN3/fHFQEKJ477UWO4 YLGkdQ0BX4y0WkJH0H5fi3zuU80iHvLw0I0U1rVOP861IrlYxKMPuXUn6F1vGCpq Huzx7pbLcLE0GTYU6Sq5Li4zdMxW7Lre2oqIAD9smj1Fx2VpQp35lFI01TKfAbdb dP08EBfI/c15C6O8v1UooDYjwM7JV1EjoZW+OcPO8rLdahakzS6VhTs6JRMKH+UM X1xqX1Grj5dRUIt2KHGPtCxHAI9VuMQqWDNEv8qmDCzenL4WOcd2TCYL5HNofAbH lWJdKYL3m6OhEVH8e7qaOIbm0hShJBqY90kJWbyowJgbPSllaPepbBNuys3iq4dM eToDKW2TXa4ELG6Xc5vl =eFsz -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
