<> || '''This mentoring initiative is currently inactive.''' || = 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 [[lyz|Elizabeth Krumbach]] at lyz@ubuntu.com or ask on the [[https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-us|US Teams Mailing List]] or drop by #ubuntu-us and ask! == Becoming a Mentor == For those interested, there are a few requirements: 1. You must have signed the Code of Conduct: https://launchpad.net/codeofconduct/1.0.1 1. You must be from an approved team. 1. You must actively involved with you team and be familiar with !LoCo resources === 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 [[https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LoCoGettingApproved|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. === Mentor Signup === Want to become one?
