## Questions from Twitter

    * After contributing once, what made him keep goin?

    * Has he ever done something that didn’t get feedback, reviews or moved forward in some way?

    * How did he deal with that practically to get it moving, or mentally to not get him down.

    * What would he say to people who were frustrated by trying to help?

    * What are his goals?

    * What improvements to d.o would make it easier for him in his daily (or weekly) contributing tasks?

    * How much time per week does he estimate is on contributing?

    * Is it interest driven, or a byproduct of projects at work or contracts?

    * What ways does Marc contribute beyond writing patches?

    * Is Marc happy with the amount of contributing he does? If not, what barriers does he face?

    * Lots of people share that feeling: of wanting to do more, and see things fixed. Why? Is it that much fun? Addictive?

## Your Experience

* Do you have anything you’d like to say to someone who’s heard of core mentoring but not gotten involved?
