Questions from Twitter

• Cathy Theys
  • After contributing once, what made him keep goin?
  • Has he ever done something that didn’t get feedback, reviews or moved forward in some way?
  • How did he deal with that practically to get it moving, or mentally to not get him down.
  • What would he say to people who were frustrated by trying to help?
  • What are his goals?
  • What improvements to d.o would make it easier for him in his daily (or weekly) contributing tasks?
  • How much time per week does he estimate is on contributing?
  • Is it interest driven, or a byproduct of projects at work or contracts?
  • What ways does Marc contribute beyond writing patches?
  • Is Marc happy with the amount of contributing he does? If not, what barriers does he face?
  • Lots of people share that feeling: of wanting to do more, and see things fixed. Why? Is it that much fun? Addictive?

Your Experience

• Do you have anything you’d like to say to someone who’s heard of core mentoring but not gotten involved?
