Best Practices and Recommendations (draft section)

If you chose to take part in or lead a brigade, we have some best practices and recommendations for you.

Recommendations

David to summarize notes from the post-mortem discussion...

Mentors

Mentorship is vital in an open source community because so much information and knowledge is often not written down or documented.  For brigades where there are leads or members who do not have easy access to the ON.Lab offices in Menlo Park, mentorship is also crucial since you do not have the ability to easily interact with and ask questions of core team members based there.  Because of that, we encourage all brigades that are not lead by an ON.Lab staff member to have a mentor who can support them, answer questions and get them unstuck when they are blocked.  Mentors can be ON.Lab staff members, TST members, module owners or anyone else who has deep knowledge to share about the work the brigade is doing.
