Hi all,

A bit more details: A year ago, we launched the first edition of the
program as a pilot. Based on interest, we created eight mentorship groups
and introduced the people to each other. We evaluated the program with a
survey at the end of the year. Results showed people were very enthusiastic
about the project, but they were looking for us to provide a bit more
structure. In response to that, we've put together a mentorship guide which
we'll be distributing to mentors, and we'll be checking in more regularly
with the mentorship groups throughout the year.
One mentorship pair from last year, Nebojša Ratković from Wikimedia Serbia
and Anthony B. Diaz from Wiki Advocates Philippines, shared their
experiences at our last Open Meeting. If you missed it, you can watch the
recording on YouTube:
