Target audience: mentors
This group is for people who do:
- IRC core mentoring office hours,
- mentor at sprints,
- self-identify as mentors, or
- are interested in the general principles of mentoring in the Drupal community.
We are not *doing* mentoring here
caution
It is really important that actual mentoring happen in public:
- on the actual issues (make comments, it is really OK!), or
- in IRC #drupal or #drupal-contribute (talk in IRC, it is really OK!).
Please politely redirect any questions about contribution to issues or IRC.
Are you a new contributor?
If you are a new contributor, and have questions about how to get involved,
please do not ask them here. Instead:
- ask them in IRC in #drupal or #drupal-contribute any day, any time,
- check https://www.drupal.org/core-mentoring to find some specific times when mentors will be in IRC
- check your drupal.org account profile page has a dashboard and there are some links to getting into contribution there, also
- see the Getting Involved handbook page.
Mentor to Mentor Discussions
Use this group to post announcements to mentors.
See also https://www.drupal.org/core-mentoring which has information about staying in contact regarding mentoring things, like the twitter account and calendar. Please go read that page. Also, read the children pages there. There is a lot of useful information about how to do mentoring, how to find tasks for new contributors, and how to plan or host a sprint.
Mentor issues, tag, queues
Some discussions should be in mentor issues:
- The mentoring meta issue tracks improvements we are making to mentoring.
- We have an tag Core mentoring on d.o
- And an issue queue for things mentors want to do (not for tracking tasks for mentoring participants).
Other groups
Other related groups:
- Drupal Event Organization for event organizers
- Local User Group Organizers
- Sprints about sprint organization
Create a get all data REST resource
Hey guys! I have a problem. I want to create a get all data REST resource in Drupal 8. I need a request that will display all the data from all the requests. This request will be executed when the mobile application starts . I found this module:
https://github.com/enzolutions/entity_rest_extra, but I don't know the methods to display all the views with content types that I created. Any solution?

Organizations often initiate Intranet projects with the objective of serving as the virtual nerve center where employees share, engage and collaborate. However, over time it ends up just being a central place for documents, tools, forms and a dashboard to broadcast information. In the last few years, enterprises have been looking towards social networks for inspiration particularly for their characteristic to drive conversations, participation and sharing among individuals and groups.

work in progress: sprint attendee and organizer timeline and checklist for small and large sprints
We started discussing this in the Mentor Meta Meeting, expanded it in the google docs notes from the meeting, and now it has been moved to a drupal.org handbook page so that it is more discoverable.
https://www.drupal.org/core-mentoring/sprint-resources/timeline
Please use this for your sprints, and make improvements to the handbook page. (Maybe improve the wording to be more clear, add missing information, ... whatever you think makes it better. Remember it is a wiki, and has revisions so it is totally safe to edit and improve.)
Thanks, Cathy

I bet a bunch of mentors will organize a sprint for Global Sprint Weekend Jan 30 and 31 2016 ... or people who are new sprint organizers will have mentor type questions.
So ask away! :)

Bellow is a summary of BOF's talk on DrupalCon Barcelona.
The problems:
- Useful modules are being abandoned because maintainers are not supporting them
