''Below is a draft for review by Walter and Ignacio''. --[[User:Quozl|Quozl]] ([[User talk:Quozl|talk]]) 22:01, 20 November 2017 (EST)

Sugar Labs community is large, and there are people who are not mentors in the contest. Mentors are [[Google_Code_In_2017#Mentors|listed]]. Everyone else you talk with may be a non-mentor.

As part of Sugar Labs community, non-mentors are to treat students in accord with the [[Sugar_Labs/Legal/Code_of_Conduct|Code of Conduct]], and as if they are new to Sugar Labs.

Students should keep in mind that some people are non-mentors, and cannot see the contest tasks, contest progress, dates, or information about students. When communicating widely, be sure to;
−
−
* introduce yourself, the first time;
−
* tell us what your task is, without relying on a link to the task (because we probably can't see it);
−
* talk about the task as if you want to do it yourself, not because of the contest; and,
−
* defend your technical decisions without using the contest as a defence.

Non-mentors may give good guidance on technical decisions, but bad guidance on how they think a task is judged. Always consult with your mentors as well.
