More details: https://us.pycon.org/2019/hatchery/mentoredsprints/ I’m helping to organize this sprint, along with Tania Allard, Nina Zakharenko, and and Nikoleta Glynatsi. If you are *new to open source, want to get started contributing*, please sign up using this form before March 14: https://goo.gl/forms/d3Blf8wgxWVoSIgO2 It will be helpful for us to know which projects/topic you're interested in, so we can proactively find you the mentor you need. If you *maintain/own an open source project*, or if you *have experience contributing* to an open source project and can help others get started, we would appreciate for you to sign up as a mentor. It doesn't have to be a Python project, it doesn't have to be big. Please sign up using this form before March 14: https://goo.gl/forms/YCZP5auVi5ZFtMjg1 Currently the following projects have signed up.
