;What criteria did you use to select the mentors? Please be as specific as possible.: Our mentors tend to self-select, in that they make proposals for projects that they are interested in promoting. As the organization administrator, I do encourage some contributors, whom I have observed to have superior mentoring skills to sign up. All potential mentors are interviewed by community members who have been successful mentors in the past. Specific criteria include availability, patience, general people skills, communication skills, depth of knowledge about the project, and the quality of their contributions. Also, as mentioned above, we pair multiple mentors to projects. In the pairing process, we try to find a balance, such as pairing a software engineer with an educator to ensure a well-rounded approach to our projects.
