For anyone interested in this, Symmetry pays $500 to every 
participating mentor at the end of the event. The primary duties 
of a mentor are as follows:

* assist the mentee with the initial project planning (milestone 
development)
* provide the mentee with guidance as needed throughout the event
* review the mentee's monthly milestone reports before the mentee 
submits them to the judges
* submit a review of the mentee's progress at the end of each 
milestone

The following document is aimed at the mentees, but it contains 
information potential mentors my find useful:

Ultimately, it's up to each mentor how and how often to make 
themselves available. Some mentees require very little guidance, 
others require more. As a baseline, we recommend weekly video 
chats to keep an eye on progress if nothing else.

In this case, existing knowledge of the QUIC protocol, though 
useful, isn't necessary---that can be picked up on the fly. 
What's more important, aside from a willingness to help, is a 
strong background in D.

Additionally, the first milestone kicks off in a few days. We can 
make sure Vlăduț gets a good start on the initial milestone list, 
but any mentor who comes in should help refine it going forward.

Please let us know here, or email me at social at dlang.org, if 
you're interested.

Thanks!
