So I'm urging each of you to consider becoming a mentor. It would take an hour weekly/bi-weekly of your time and I'll do my best to find you  a mentee who you'll enjoy working with. I'm sure the previous mentors will agree that the process of helping out some one is super rewarding and it makes you grow as a developer and a person.</div><div><br></div><div>Here is the signup link: <a href="http://bit.ly/1zy1hSW" target="_blank">http://bit.ly/1zy1hSW</a><br></div><div><br></div><div>If you have any questions, feel free to mail me directly ... </div><div>Thank you guys ... </div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Jan 22, 2015 at 7:31 AM, Tathagata Dasgupta <span dir="ltr"><<a>tathagatadg@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left-width:1px;border-left-color:rgb(204,204,204);border-left-style:solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div>Of course - what good is an announcement mail without broken urls!</div><div><br></div><div>Here are the missing images: Zack and Jimmy demoing code!</div><div> </div><img src="cid:ii_i586c0zo1_14b11d3445d9438a" width="520" height="390"><br><br>ChiPy Mentorship Program 2014 Alumni Panel Q&A:<div><br><div><img src="cid:ii_i586f27f2_14b11d56dfaa6716" width="520" height="390"><br><br></div></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><div><div><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Jan 22, 2015 at 7:25 AM, Tathagata Dasgupta <span dir="ltr"><<a>tathagatadg@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left-width:1px;border-left-color:rgb(204,204,204);border-left-style:solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><p><span>Last night was probably ChiPy's best meeting ever! </span>Congratulations Zack & Jimmy for grabbing the glory of Best M/M Pair!</p><p><img src="https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/?ui=2&ik=dadf832859&view=fimg&th=14b11ccdc0112cb0&attid=0.2&disp=emb&realattid=ii_i585l30a0_14b11c01af842cca&attbid=ANGjdJ_JO-8CRLruIXpzwpfUALxKv7CE8v-MRGs3TjrvEg5AcmEZr2iKtu95WRCojQHrHrbbyaFNcc2tIT8a0I6tQ9oyJha1J76jSS4qJt-XxXH94CEMbpe0zNawBRM&sz=s0-l75&ats=1421932813935&rm=14b11ccdc0112cb0&zw" width="562" height="422" style="margin-right:0px"><br><br></p><p><span>We truly believe each of our M/M pair is a winner and thanks to each one of you for making the Mentorship program such a success.

If you have had some experience with Python and are eager to help others by sharing what you have learned - become a Mentor! Based on what I have heard from our participants the last time, both mentor and mentees had a very enriching experience learning from each other.</span></p><p>The program will run for three months from Feb 15th, 2015 to May 15th, 2015. At the end of it, the M/M pairs will present their work like last night and the most achieving M/M pair will take away the glory of the Best M/M Pair!<br><span></span></p><p>Cheers,<br>T</p><div><br></div>
