You pitch in with what you'd like to contribute with. | No-one is going to assign you specific tasks and you take on the tasks by your own initiative - so a mentor is not as such your boss, but more of a helper to help you get your task done.

After sprint completion, final images are built and release post posted along with achievements of the sprint. |
