The Fedora Mentors program allows new Fedora contributors to work together with seasoned developers, authors, translators, testers, and other experienced contributors. If you are simply seeking help but don't desire to contribute to Fedora, you might want to look to our other resources to get help .
If you haven't yet chosen how you would like to contribute, you should check the Join page for ideas. Alternatively, you can talk to a mentor to see where your skills can be put to the best use.
Finding a Mentor
Some quick tips for finding the right mentor for you:
- Do your homework. Please spend some time looking around the wiki before you ask for help. The more homework you do, the happier your mentor will be to work with you.
- Choose a mentor with the right expertise. All of the mentors list their areas of knowledge. If you're not sure what you need help with, any mentor should be able to lead you in the right direction.
- Choose a mentor who is available when you need them. There are Fedora Mentors all over the globe to help you, and they all post their general hours of availability -- but you won't get any help if the mentor you choose is asleep.
- Ask for help on IRC. If you need immediate help, you can usually find a mentor in #fedora-mentors[?] on http://freenode.net .
Learn more about the mentoring process.
Current Mentors

Rave reviews
If a mentor helps you, it's extremely important to let other people know it. The best way to do that is by offering a rave review.
If you'd like to rave about a mentor, please send a quick note to rave-review at fedoraproject dot org, telling us who the mentor was, and how they helped you. The Mentors team will then update the wiki with your rave review.
