+Mentoring
+=========
+
+Reading the :doc:`contributing </contributing/index>` is already a great way
+to get started on becoming a Symfony contributor. However, sometimes
+it might still seem overwhelming and for this purpose we created a
+dedicated slack channel called `contribs`_ to connect new contributors
+to long time contributors that can help get started and give some one
+on one advice on the entire process.

+Speaker mentoring
+=================
+
+The Symfony community benefits greatly from as many people as possible
+sharing their knowledge and experience with others. Every different
+point of view adds to our collective understanding of how to best use
+and evolve the code, design patterns and architecture provided within
+the Symfony community. As such we specifically welcome not only sharing
+from long time contributors, but also from new users as they will come
+across entirely different challenges with a totally fresh new look and
+perspective.
+
+How to get started
+------------------
+
+Given a first talk at a conference can seem quite intimidating but we
+want to make sure that as many people as possible are empowered to take
+this path if they are motivated. Therefore we have collected a few
+resources with advice. More importantly we connect experienced speakers
+with people just taking their first steps in this area:
+
+.. tip::
+
+    A good first step might be given a talk at a local user group to a
+    smaller crowd that one knows more intimately. As a next step give
+    a talk at conference in your mother tongue.
+
+The best way to find people that can review your talk idea or slides is
+the `speaker mentoring channel`_ on Symfony slack. There are many
+seasoned speakers with knowledge in various parts of Symfony that are
+motivated to help anyone get started on the path towards becoming a
+public speaker. They can even do practice runs via video chat!
+Furthermore, they can also be an ally when it comes to the day of
+given the talk at a conference!
+
+Likely the premier resource with advice on `public speaking`_ is a
+collection of links maintained by VM (Vicky) Brasseur. It covers
+everything from finding a conference call for proposals, how to
+refine a proposal, to how to put together slide decks to practical
+tips for preparation and talk delivery.
