Hey!
I am Aditya R Rudra, a software developer and an open source contributor. I have also been a GSoC student in the past with INCF. Actually, I wanted to put forward my case for joining Fedora as a general mentor. I am really interested in joining a mentor team this summer and it would be really great if you could help me out here. Here is a brief presentation for my pitch:
`I am Aditya R Rudra, a software engineer and an open source contributor with a lot of experience. I have previously been a GSoC student last summer with INCF working on NAAT's application BrainBox. I have been an open source contributor to communities like Postman and OWASP as well.
Due to my experience working with INCF last summer, I have a good deal of knowledge about how GSoC works and timeline. I specialise in tech stack involving Javascript and Python, with a lot of experience working with them. I have worked on a lot of Machine Learning projects as well so I'd be a good fit to work on those projects. Apart from this, I can also work with DevOps and coordinate the pipelines there. I'd also help along in managing students and overall coordinating their work. And, I'm really interested in co-mentoring a project this summer. So I would really appreciate it if you could accept me as a mentor.`
My CV is attached as well here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1cJtU3VNvUN_AZbjhCLFScH70lap2vk6N/view?usp=sharing Hoping to hear from you soon…
With Best Regards,
Aditya R Rudra
Hi @adityaofficial, thank you for expressing your interest to become a general mentor for one of the programmes in Fedora Mentored Projects. As of responding to your ticket, your FAS account is roughly over an half an hour old - which even though does not indicate inexperience as a whole - but does makes us to want to point you to a more appropriate entrypoint to the community i.e. Fedora Join SIG. Here's how you can join, explore and be a part of the community more organically, than being so for a certain purpose https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/join/.
Here's some documentation (from 2021, but things won't be very different in 2022 I suppose) of what takes to be a mentor (general/technical) -that I would ask you to go through, now that you have expressed your interest to be one https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/mentored-projects/gsoc/2021/. I am tagging in @siddharthvipul1 and @sumantrom, who happen to be primary points of contact regarding Fedora Mentored Projects, for further information.

I agree with your overall assessment :) While general mentor doesn't need to know the project specifics, they should be a trusted community members who know the workings of the Fedora Project. General mentors would be in constant discussion with Other mentors, Mentees, communication updates (think almost a program manager for the mentorship program) which requires a little understanding of of the org
