Hi,
I sent the following proposal to Alissa yesterday after she spoke on the mike:
What if we created an ietf-mentors list that all newcomers were
auto-subscribed to. Those of us who want to mentor send a brief description
of who they are and what they work on to the list, and the newcomers can
approach those folks that sound like they would like to be mentored by. The
mentor and newcomer meet at the meet&greet, and the mentors commit to
actively trying to helping their mentorees along for at least that first
meeting week.
That doesn't quite solve the issue for very shy newcomers, but it would at
least establish some sort of contact.
