The FSSF Mentorship Planner is a tool used to pair mentors with mentees depending on their schedules and topics of interest. It is used by the F# Software Foundation as part of its mentorship program.
The FSSF is a community-operated, not-for-profit organization dedicated to the growth, support, and education of a diverse community around the F# programming language.
In order to further education, the FSSF operates a mentorship program that connects experienced F# developers to those wishing to improve their programming skills and learn the best practices in F#.
In order to use the Mentorship Planner, ensure that you have Git and the .NET 6.0 SDK installed. Then run the following commands in your shell:
git clone https://github.com/Kavignon/FSharp-Mentorship-Automatic-Planner.git
cd FSharp-Mentorship-Automatic-Planner/MentorMatchmaker/MentorMatchmaker
dotnet run mentorship_data_file.csv output --results
The program creates two files containing:
- the emails to send to the mentor and the mentee for each matching pair
templateEmailToSendDump.txt - the list of applicants without a match
applicationDataDump.txt
To create an input file conforming to the schema used by the program,
you should use the mentorship_schema_file.csv as a starting point.
