Description

Mentoring is crucial for knowledge transfer in open source. But traditional dyadic mentoring formats between an expert and novice are hard to scale. In this talk, I will present the different types of mentoring in open source and focus on implicit mentoring---mentoring taking place in everyday development activities like code-reviews. I will show how implicit mentoring can be automatically identified, how widespread it is, who participates, and how to achieve mentoring at scale by building an appreciative project culture.
