yesct commentedsome people might want more details about what mentoring coordinators do, check out this great docs page we added recently
https://www.drupal.org/core-mentoring/mentoring-coordinator
Comment #3
yesct commentedI know all the work these coordinators do beyond "just" mentoring, but for those that dont see it as much as I do... here you go.

Comment #4
alimac commentedI am honored. The list of tasks in #3 describes what I have been doing in the past year. My goal is always to improve the things that can be improved and automate the things that can be automated.
Comment #5
heddnTo echo alimac, I'm equally honored. For a while now, I've thought that the best way to get D8 was to duplicate myself and get work done through others. It is exciting to see folks that I have mentored over the years become very active participants in seeing D8 get out the door. The only thing I'd add to the list in #3 is that I'm also involved in mentoring at camps and sprints.
Comment #6
star-szrA hearty +1 to all the suggested inclusions!
Comment #7
cilefen commentedThe core mentoring coordinator responsibilities, are:
Of these, I do 1, 3, and 5. I could do 4, and I have mentored at non-Drupal OSS events. But 2, organizing events, is not an area of strength for me. I know myself enough by now to be sure about that. Avoid disappointing surprises by never having me plan an event.
Comment #8
yesct commented@cilefen deal! maintaining IRC mentoring is something I dont do very much anymore and it is great to have others to take on that.
Comment #9
valthebaldThe honor would be mine, too. From Chris's list, I would like to participate more in 2 (organizing mentoring on DrupalCons). During the last year, I've helped to organize sprints in 2 camps (Wroclaw and Sofia).
Comment #10
cilefen commentedThis sentence doesn't make much sense.
Comment #11
star-szrI think the comma after "process" is not needed, and it should probably be "processes" to match the plurality of tools and documentation.
Also I would combine the last two sentences:
"They organize communications and logistics and they actively participate as mentors."
But besides that everyone has commented so once we get wording ironed out this is RTBC I'd say.
Comment #12
cilefen commentedTry: "Drupal Core mentoring coordinators strategize, recruit mentors, and mentor the mentors." or similar.
Comment #13
davidhernandezReworded some things, and put the names in alpha order. I didn't bother with an interdiff since almost every line is different.
Comment #14
davidhernandezChanged some wording again. Cilefen and I were discussing this in person. We had an actual author agree that the word strategize in that sentence is awkward and superfluous.
Comment #15
yesct commentedI'm ok with the new wording, and each of the people have chimed in.
