= Information for mentors =
Mentors are responsible for keeping in touch with their candidate and assessing the candidate's progress.
The mentor typically gives advice, reviews the candidate's code, and has regular communication with the candidate to ensure progress is being made.
Being a mentor is a significant time commitment, plan for 5 hours per week.  Make sure you can make this commitment because backing out during the summer will affect the candidate's experience.
The mentor chooses their candidate by reviewing candidate application forms, giving out bite-sized tasks so applicants can submit a patch upstream, and conducting IRC interviews with candidates.  Depending on the number of candidates, this can be time-consuming in itself.  Choosing the right candidate is critical so that both the mentor and the candidate can have a successful experience.
