I haven't observed that many newcomers at the newcomer meet-and-greet.
They seem to be overwhelmed (numerically) by the ADs+chairs that go, which
is reinforced by ADs+chairs using it as a taking-care-of-business
opportunity as John observed.

So, also along the "much as I like free beer", maybe it should be just the
ADs, unless the number of newcomers that go increases.

if we do the newcomer-mentor-mailing-list-syncup proposal I described, you could restrict attendance to the beer to mentors that have been chosen by a mentoree... This may also widen the mentor pool.


After making a statement in the plenary about mentors, I was asked to make something happen. I have been talking to a few people about putting together an experimental approach to matching newcomers (not just first-timers) and volunteer (non-I* participants) mentors. Stay tuned for more details.

Brian
