We have discussion groups on<br>
the meetup site where people willing to mentor can offer and people looking for<br>
mentors can find them.<br>
<br>
There must be a social contract between the people, a commitment, since<br>
mentoring isn't easy and volunteered time is worth something. This isn't the<br>
same as "asking a question, get an answer" ... this is about "teaching someone<br>
to fish for themselves."<br>
<br>
For example, I'm willing to mentor in Linux administration and a little<br>
old-school C/C++ (pre-1999 standards).<br>
<br>
I'd like to find someone else studying for the RHEL v7 1st cert too. Meet online<br>
2+ times weekly so an end can be seen.<br>
