What about a larger, "Mentoring" effort for ALE?  We have discussion groups on
the meetup site where people willing to mentor can offer and people looking for
mentors can find them.

There must be a social contract between the people, a commitment, since
mentoring isn't easy and volunteered time is worth something. This isn't the
same as "asking a question, get an answer" ... this is about "teaching someone
to fish for themselves."

For example, I'm willing to mentor in Linux administration and a little
old-school C/C++ (pre-1999 standards).

I'd like to find someone else studying for the RHEL v7 1st cert too. Meet online
2+ times weekly so an end can be seen.
