People listed various initiatives and plans in other replies, I'd like to mention again OpenHatch which I talked a little bit about on the list before [1]. Some projects like Horizon are set up on it, together with a list of mentors. The folks that contacted us through OpenHatch had usually never contributed to open-source before. I agree mentoring is an excellent way to get people involved with the community!
