Wrangling mentors

Cold call-email:

During Application Period

• Direct add any mentors to opw-kernel, opw-kernel-interns, and opw-kernel-alumni. Send these three welcome messages as you subscribe them:

Hi ,

I'm going to subscribe you to three lists:

opw-kernel is for applicants to send patches during the application period, and ask questions.

opw-kernel-interns is for accepted interns and mentors only, and will be used once interns are chosen.

opw-kernel-mentors is a private list for mentors only.  It's used during the intern selection process and in case we need to communicate with all mentors privately.

Internship wrap-up tasks

Mailing list tasks

• Move all interns from opw-kernel-interns to opw-kernel-alumni. Send this email notifying them of the change, and make sure to thank the individual interns, so that the current subscribers to the list can welcome the new alumni.

Greetings OPW interns!

The [TIME PERIOD] OPW internship period has ended, and we now have
[NUMBER OF PAST INTERNS] new OPW kernel alumni:

 - [INTERN] worked on [PROJECT] with her mentor, [MENTOR]

Thank you to all the OPW mentors who helped out in this last round!  The
OPW kernel internships would not be possible without your guidance and 
mentoring.

As this internship period ends, I'm moving all past interns and mentors 
from the opw-kernel-interns mailing list to the opw-kernel-alumni
mailing list. 

opw-kernel-alumni is a low-traffic mailing list for past OPW interns to
ask for advice, post their successes, or look for jobs.  All past OPW
mentors are subscribed to this list, so you are welcome to use us as a
sounding board.  OPW alumni and mentors are encouraged to post
internship or job opportunities, conference CFPs, speaking opportunities
to this list, or diversity outreach efforts, as long as they are related
to Linux or open source.

You will also be subscribed by Marina to a general OPW alumni list, 
opw-alumni@gnome.org.

• Move all past mentors from opw-kernel-interns to opw-kernel-alumni. Leave them on opw-kernel-mentors.
• Ask past mentors if they want to remain on opw-kernel, to review the next round of patches. Ask if they want to participate as a mentor again.
