I'd be happy to be an informal mentor if any of them wanted to ask questions etc. Happy to continue that after December.

When I spoke of distributing the tasks, I regularly teach students how to get stared with shell commands, git, and GitHub, and I suspect at least a couple of our new people may want an orientation in that. I wonder if it makes sense to divide up some of the orientation tasks among a group of mentors...just thinking out loud.

That would seem to require a mentoring program rather than something more informal...it may be a bit daunting for one to take on mentoring three people. Can we maybe put it on the Council agenda to discuss how best to distribute and plan a mentoring process? I want to help mentor but not sure I would do a good job of it with three people to watch out for.
