Hi Toby, Lucy and Greg. If ya'll are going to setup some sort of speaker/mentoring thingy in Sydney perhaps you can get some help from people who have done it before:
All of this was from @cczona who is the "I" in the last bullet point.
-
strong tradition of speaker mentorship on @devchix. It's how I got started; as well as long list of others who speak constantly now
-
the mailing list for @SpeakUp_io does mentoring of new speakers. Low activity list with ppls incredibly generous when asked.
