Create documentation for monthly mentoring team meetings on Slack

I would be happy to help lead mentoring meetings.

My current process:

I find it easiest for myself to create the new issue when I go to credit participation and close the previous month's meeting issue,

1. Review Slack for participation in the roll call and other threads:
   1. Confirm the Credit & committing > By list and check the boxes
   2. For each person, confirm their drupal.org username if it was not provided by them, and type it in Credit & committing > Credit others, then type a comma
   3. Review the list to make sure I got everybody and did not use an old username from my memory rather than a current username.
2. Change the Status to fixed and add a comment closing the issue with credits
3. Follow the "clone issue" link (this might be dreditor)
4. Update the title for the correct day, month and year of the next meeting.
5. Update the dates in the issue summary
6. Remove the URL to the previous month's meeting with a placeholder
7. Remove any expired agenda items such as previous DrupalCon planning threads, previous event threads.
8. Renumber thread emoji as needed
9. Save
10. Update placeholder from the step above with the new URL and save the issue again

I think this should be done anywhere from 1 week after the previous meeting to account for continual discussion and 1 week prior to the next meeting to provide time for editing the agenda by any mentor.

If I am running the meeting, then just before 20:00 UTC I do the following:

1. Set the issue in my browser to Edit mode
2. Ensure I am on Drupal Slack in the mentoring team coordination channel
3. I copy the initial chunk of text until the first empty line and paste it into Slack
4. I immediately paste the :zero: agenda item into Slack and start a thread introducing myself.
5. I try to continually copy a group of agenda items, separately, so each can be its own thread in fairly rapid succession so that I can participate in the discussion too. I try to start each group of agenda items or the next agenda item after about 2-3 minutes so that there is time to bounce between threads for active discussion.
6. Near the 45 minute mark or later, I paste the "That's it for now" message

Following the notes for the meeting next week as testing...

I tell you what, lostcarpark, let me run this meeting to test the script above, then you can test any changes we make next month?

changes needed
- add step to set status of new cloned issue to Active

Sounds good, @rachel_norfolk!

Thank you for running through what I had, rachel. Changing status to Needs work based on feedback.

We also need to add some instruction about pasting the issue link into the mentoring team channel to ask/invite people to add to the agenda including any success stories for mentors.

@mradcliffe - you forgot the most important step - updating the icebreaker question!

More seriously, I don't see the clone function, and Dreditor project has been abandoned 5 years ago, and I'm not sure there's an install for it still available.

Oops, I sometimes forget I have dreditor still installed.

Is there also not a clone issue link in the sidebar? Or did dreditor also add that?

I moved the draft into the issue summary for better editing and fixed #6.

Yes there is "clone issue" in sidebar! Never noticed that before. Maybe when in the final documentation we could have a screenshot.

I created the contributor task based on the issue summary.
