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@dlang.org, if you're interested.
Thanks!
