[group-organizers] ChiPy's Mentorship Program

[Tathagata Dasgupta]

Great! I haven't heard the episode yet, hopefully sometime soon!

Update on current program:
Our mid term was a Coding dojo:

Thanks to Nick Tollervey for organizing Coding Dojo at PyCon so that we
were able to effortlessly fork it for the Mentorship program. Next we are
planning to have a hackathon as a final of the mentorship program - where
developers outside the mentorship program can work together with the mentor
and mentees.

I'll have create page on chipy.org with details on running the mentorship
program. Soon ;)
