Proposal Review/Selection Process and Criteria

• The Hyperledger TOC reviews proposals and validate and /or select projects with development technical (code, research, or documentation) focus, and the Hyperledger Foundation staff will review and select projects with business research focus. All projects will open for mentee applications on Linux Foundation LFX Mentorship in coordination with the mentorship program admin. 
• General selection criteria are:
  • The selected proposals have clearly scoped learning objectives and outcomes that could serve as a springboard to onboard new contributors.
  • The selected proposals can be accomplished, under the guidance of the mentors, by a new developer, researcher, or contributor within established program dates for mentee/mentor working period of 6 months when a mentee contributes on a part-time basis ~15-20 hours a week (for 2023 program year, the working period is from June to November).  
    
  • The selected proposals should have a direct connection or relevance to an existing Hyperledger project or lab or ecosystem.
  • The selected proposals will further increase the contributor or maintainer base of the related Hyperledger Project or Lab or ecosystem.
  • The selected proposals have the potential to maximize the diversity of the projects, mentors, and mentees.
  • The mentors of the selected proposals will represent a nice mix of experienced and new mentors.
