Are you a seasoned speaker and want to mentor people? Are you considering submitting a proposal to PyCon 2020 and would like guidance on your proposal?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, this mentorship program is for you!

The purpose of this program is to pair experienced proposal submitters with those that are seeking guidance. Proposals could be for tutorials, talks, posters, and/or the Education Summit. Mentees may be in different stages of their proposal writing and may need help with diffent aspects of their proposal.

• Help answer questions folks may have about their proposal.
• Help proposal submitters better understand what information goes into the proposal form.
• Help review proposal drafts.
• Help identify where information is lacking or excessive.
• Guide mentees to online resources such as the ones listed here:
  • https://us.pycon.org/2020/speaking/
  • https://us.pycon.org/2020/speaking/talks/
  • https://us.pycon.org/2020/speaking/tutorials/
  • https://us.pycon.org/2020/speaking/posters/
  • https://us.pycon.org/2020/speaking/edusummit/

How will this work?

• Goal is to have one mentor per mentee. We still need mentors. If you are interested and available in late October and/or late November, fill out this form.
• We are looking to find pairs in the same timezone or even in the same country
• Once folks are paired up, we will introduce mentors and mentees via email, ask mentees to share prepared material, create a cal invite for each pair with a conference line.
