Description

The project is designed to help and guide people in tech who have lost their way, or find it difficult to start in the first place. The idea is to make the tech industry more inclusive and welcoming for a diverse set of people, by connecting them to a mentor, over internet for a call. The aim is to create a portal where interested Mozilla employees can volunteer by making themselves available for a one-on-one meeting, with a newcomer seeking help in their area of expertise.

Hey @ipsha21 I'm excited to be your wrangler for the global sprint. Thanks for submitting a project. I would love to chat through your project with you and see how we can engage others to contribute. Can you email me at amira@mozillafoundation.org and we can set up a time. Thanks!

[amirad]

Never mind, just emailed you!

Hey @ipsha21! I'm working with the sprint team to check in on projects. This looks great. You might think about adding a few more easy issues to your issues queue, we're trying for at least 5 #mozsprint issues per project, so if you could add that label to a few of your issues that would be lovely.

It could be as simple as reviewing project documentation, or responding to some discussion idea, low pressure, but just wanted to check in. I'll leave the rest to @amirad.
