Mentor sessions

Mentor Sessions

Mentor Sessions are asynchronous sessions that happen on the GitLab Community Discord to help move merge requests forward. They are intended to help merge requests having difficulty getting ready for review.

How to initiate a mentor session?

Create the merge request with your proposed changes
Follow the @gitLab-bot guidance & recommendation
Log in to GitLab Community Discord
Go to the #contribute channel
Type in the title of your merge request and create a thread
Mention @Contributor Success, optionally together with your thoughts and questions

What to expect?

Mentoring sessions are useful to clear out your thoughts or discuss how to move forward. Everyone is different, so these sessions are to cater to the different needs. They happen async and in Discord because then everybody can contribute to the conversations and others can learn as well.
