At europython they had "Mentor" badges and made it publicly known that peope with those badges are at all times willing to answer every single question for newcomers. If it's not too late that could be printed with the rest on the attendee badges?
We could also manually print another badge for some people. We also have a 25mm button machine available which we could use for this purpose. Benjamin

I heard that in A Coruna there were some games where you had simple tasks in the style of "Find a release team member and ask them …". Another example would be here at university where the first year students are generally split into groups of around 20 people and spend almost a week together doing different activities to help them bond. I think it would be perfectly possible to organize something simple even on a short notice. So if someone has an idea how we may help individuals to e.g. start conversations with old community members, to go grab food with others, or to engage them in other ways then I would love to hear about it. We can provide some resources (e.g. printing or buying stuff), but we don't have the resources in the core team to fully plan such activities.
