Core mentoring

listed "Friday" critical office hours:

  • 02:00 UTC (12pm Brisbane), led by Lee Rowlands / larowlan
  • 11:00 UTC (12pm Brussels), led by ???
  • 20:00 UTC (12pm Pacific), led by Angie Byron / webchick

which were removed from the page

But are still tweeted out because of the IFTTT integration with the mentor google calendar:

For example: https://twitter.com/drupalmentoring/status/652556009005842436

We should:
a) remove them from the calendar
b) repurpose them for criticalish things like also major triage
--- only if we can get people (mentor-ish people) to commit to attending the scheduled hours

Yeah, I'm going to try and find 2-3 who want to be mentored and then make my self available when I'm online, no schedule, kind of like a first point of contact if you get stuck, no questions asked. Not sure how to find the 2-3 though...

If someone takes the bull by the horns here and wants to organically organize something, let's do it! Otherwise and until then, let's remove if from the calendar.
