This page is intended for those people who wish to contribute to the Student Fellowship programme by acting as mentors. Please leave your name/nick , contact information(e-mail) and your area of interest. The job of a mentor is not to teach the student programming. It is more to supply domain knowledge, domain knowledge in IT for IT related projects, or domain knowledge in the field that the project covers. The mentor should guide the student to the correct fora like IRC channels and mailing lists so the student picks up the foss way of programming. The mentor should also ensure that the student uses wikis and repositories for their ideas and their code - and see that they commit often.
