Even after the free tickets are announced, we will still need people encouraging others to mentor until we get to about 55 mentors signed up.

tatarbjI'm closing this issue as as part of issue queue clean-up meta: #2960983: [meta] Plan for Mentoring Project/Issue Queue. This does not mean topics in this issue is or was not important or completed.
Issue was about to recruit mentors for DrupalCon Barcelona and can be considered outdated.
