adamant1988That was fast, haha11:44
adamant1988jono: , I have a written out proposal for a mentoring program to make it easier for anyone to get involved in a group of their choice (as long ad the group supports it) I was told I should take that to you11:45
adamant1988let me get you the link at the USDF11:46
jonocould you mail me it adamant1988?11:46
adamant1988absolutely, the basic idea is that every channel would have #x-x-class or something open that was a dedicated learning environment. 11:47
adamant1988People from the project who didn't mind to help go just be available in the class to help out, etc.11:47
adamant1988jono: jono   at      ubuntu   dot   com right?11:50
jonoadamant1988: yep :)11:51
jonosounds cool :)11:51
adamant1988jono: Yeah, I thought it may help in getting more people to get involved11:51
jono:)11:51
adamant1988the common complaint is, "I would love to help, but I don't know how"11:51
adamant1988So, make it easy for them to learn how if they care to.11:52
