Excellent !. You could use this link
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Presentations where the presentations
are available. you could get some points there and some inputs there
too. You could probably create a small presentation and send it across
to the list so that people could review it and give you their expert
review comments. And yes we need to decide on how to take the mentor
programme forward.

Sushmit: I guess we have got some good feedback and some questions
also to be answered how about discussing all these in a meeting. Can
we organize one so that we could discuss the second level there ? What
do you say ?

Cheers,
Balaji
