Mentor Meeting - 8 January 2025

Added some more details from previous meeting.

Adding the mentoring sponsorship form

It would be really helpful if we could decide on the following for Atlanta, so that I can work with the DA in getting everything we need/want finalized:

1. A proposed schedule of mentoring events during DrupalCon. This includes first-time contributor workshops, mentoring workshops, issue queue triage workshop, mentor’s BoF. To this end, I am able to secure us a dedicated space for these workshops, including during contribution day (so that we can separate the first-time contributor’s workshop from the mentoring area.) BUT, to make any of this happen, I need a proposed/tentative schedule by January 1.
2. The name of the main contact on the mentoring team for marketing/communications. This person will also be asked to help work with DrupalCon marketing folks in writing and designing marketing materials (including a half-page handout for the booth.) The DA is willing to help us get the word out, but ideally, there will be a single point-of-contact.
3. I think we should identify a “mentor recruitment” lead. I have some ideas about how this could be really useful.

Also see my comment in Slack in the #mentoring-leads channel: https://drupal.slack.com/archives/G63JLJK7G/p1732311521966999?thread_ts=...

Moved mentor sponsorship form up into Who's attending since it's related.

Added lead roles. I didn't add links to avoid Slack link spam.

- Mentor Contribution Event Planning lead → - Mentoring room lead - The helps to recruit mentor leads, but also providing guidance for mentors that leads into recruiting. The main point of contact. We've split this role in recent years.
- Mentoring room lead →
- Mentor communications lead → - Send email and social media updates, updates event web site content
- First-time contributor workshop lead →
- Mentoring booth lead → - helps with recruitment of mentors.
- Community tools lead → - ensures tools are ready, coordinates technical issues on-site, if on-site.
- Novice issue triage lead → -
- Major issue triage lead → - We haven't had enough to really do this, and this sort of bled into working with initiative leads

I forgot to change the ice breaker.
