The Chaosmentors programme uses a specific terminology, that will be used throughout this document. Here's a list of terms we will use.

Mentor

A person, who volunteered to show new attendees around the event, help them pick out interesting talks and workshops and acts as contact for any questions that a person might have on their first visit to a chaos event. Mentors are not teachers, but rather experienced attendees, who are willing to share their knowledge and unique perspective on the event.

Mentees

A person, who is interested in visiting a chaos event for the first time, and does wish for the opportunity to receive some help in navigating a complex event such as congress, or simply don't wish do go alone and who are looking for like minded people to share the event with.

Godmothers

Persons who are involved in organising the chaosmentors assembly, and do the "background work" of contacting applicants and pick out matching mentors and mentees, and get them into contact with one another.
