Dear Hyperledger Mentors,
Thank you for answering questions and working with prospective applicants who are interested in applying for your project(s) during the past few weeks.
Just as a reminder we will be closing the applications on LFX for all Hyperledger mentorships on Sunday, May 9th. Following May 9th you will have 2 weeks to review and select a mentee to work with. Please review the overall program timeline to plan accordingly.
- You as the mentor will be reviewing the applicants on LFX to make sure that the mentee you choose to work with have the right level of skills and qualifications as well as the interest in contributing to an open source community/project you're looking for. We also encourage you to give all candidates equal consideration, especially those from underrepresented populations in the open source community.
- I noted that some of you are not yet a mentor on LFX. Please note that you will only be able to access and review the applicant profiles and their submitted application materials when you are associated with your mentorship project on LFX. Please read the documentation on how to become a mentor.
- Now it's time to do one more push to spread the word and encourage those in your network to apply before we close application in a little over a week. Send the "how to apply" link to anyone who is interested.
- It's fine to read a prospective mentee's resume and cover letter via email. But they must apply on LFX in order to be included in the pool of candidates to be reviewed by you. This also ensures that when we accept a mentee, this person will be linked to the HR paperwork and mentee stipend payment process. There is no exception to this.
- In general, you will be selecting one mentee to work with you on your project. I recommend the following review process:
- Review mentee profile
- Review cover letter and resume submitted by mentees
- I highly recommend contacting a subset of applicants for a virtual interview
- You may also assign an additional task, such as a coding challenge, using the LFX interface, for further evaluation
- Rank the applicants and come up with a list of top three candidates in case your top one mentee is selected by multiple mentors/projects (as a mentee can apply up to 3 projects on LFX).
IMPORTANT: PLEASE DO NOT CHANGE mentee application status. I will send additional application review instructions after we close the applications on May 9th.
In the meantime, please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions.

Hello Mentor,
I am Prastik Gyawali, an engineering undergraduate and am interested to explore the field of Blockchain and Hyperledger.
I was actually interested in "The Giving Pledge" project of which you are one of the mentors. Though I have understood the basic idea of the project yet I am to make any conducive contribution for the same. Thus, could you please guide me into delving more on the project? How and where should I start?
Thank you so Much !!
Thank You and Kind Regards !!
Karan,
Hello, great new that you are interested in the Giving Chain project. The main goal of this project is to build the out the Giving chain interfaces, R2D application. We will need to decide what are target donors and recipients for the MVP, the platform or platforms to build the system on that best suits our needs. Once the decisions are made we will need mentees who are interested in learning how to build the supply chain blockchain and create the user interfaces. This Social Impact project could wind up helping a lot of people. I hope this helps.
