If you’re *not* in school, interested in tinypy, and want to help out, you can become a mentor!  I’m working via the PSF to get tinypy some SOC help.  Since I announced this a few days ago I’ve already got four students who want to do SOC projects on tinypy!

Reasons to become a SOC-python-tinypy mentor:

• you want to help out tinypy – if multiple projects get accepted, it would be great to have some people helping me out!  I don’t think I could mentor them all.
• you want to help out python – the more mentors python has, the more projects will be sponsored   This will increase the odds that tinypy gets some slots.
• you want to help out students – this is the Summer of Code, after all!  It’s a great opportunity to help new coders get some great experience.
• you want to help out open source – the SOC gets students involved in Open Source   Several of the students who have contacted me say this is the first time they’ve been interested in Open Source.

Qualifications for mentors:

• you aren’t a student.
• you know python and C reasonably well.
• you want to help out!

How to join:

• contact me, so I know who wants to be a tinypy mentor.
• join the python mentor’s mailing list.
• join the Google SOC mentors as part of the PSF.

Thanks!
-Phil
