Hi, I recently did mentoring a new debian contributor. This is carried out in a framework with "OSS Gate on-boarding" [1].
In "OSS Gate on-boarding", recruit a new contributor who want to work on continuously. Then, corporation sponsor its employee as a mentor. Thus, employee can do it as a one of their job. During Aug - Oct period, I worked with a new debian contributor every 2h in a week. This experience is lots of fun, and learned a new things for me. The most important point is: a new Debian contributor aimed to do their work continuously even though mentoring period has finished. So, some of work has finished, but not for all. I tried to transfer a knowledge for it. I'm looking forward that he makes things forward in consultation with other person's help. Here is the report about my activity as a mentor.
