LFX Mentorship '22 Summer Semester


Nate Waddington
 

Hello everyone!

The LFX Mentorship '22 Summer semester is open now open for project ideas: https://github.com/cncf/mentoring/tree/main/lfx-mentorship/2022/02-Summer 

We have compressed the administration schedule to work around the LF All hands and KubeCon events this year. The semester is the same length as it has been in previous years.

Project submission and application timeline:
  • mentorships available on LFX Mentorship: May 8th, 2021
  • applications open: May 9th - May 24th (2 weeks)
  • application review/admission decisions/HR paperwork: May 25th - May 31st

Please share this with any projects you think may be interested in having a mentee work with them over the summer!

Cheers,
Nate

Hello everyone!

Just a reminder that the cutoff for making project proposals is May 8th!

This is a great opportunity to have a paid mentee help with your projects.



Cheers,
Nate

Hello,

Just discovered this thread, sadly we somehow missed the original message in the community. Would it make sense to extend the deadlines beyond May 19th? There're pending decisions in Google Summer of Code, and some projects (including ours) do not know which projects will be accepted. Usually mentoring orgs get less slots than they have proposals, so they may use LFX Mentorship as an opportunity to run feasible projects that they were unable to accept to GSoC. This year the organizations will know which projects were accepted only on May 19.

Best regards,
Oleg Nenashev

Hi Oleg,

Sorry for my delayed response. I'm open to extending the key dates here.

If we extend the cut-off date (which is already well past), I think we should also extend the application cut-off date to give folks a chance to reconsider their applications.

Suggested timeline updates:
    •    mentorships available on LFX Mentorship: May 8th, 2021 (no change)
    •    proposals cutoff May 24th
    •    applications open: May 9th - May 29th
    •    application review/admission decisions/HR paperwork: May 31st - June 3rd

I don't want this update to push out the end date of the term; I think it's likely OK to have a slightly shorter term if it means we can have more projects participating.

Cheers,
Nate
