At europython they had "Mentor" badges and made it publicly known

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.

Hi,

I have wondered a bit whether we could offer something that helps
new
or inexperienced community members to make friends at the
conference.

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.

Benjamin
