LFX Mentorship platform
- You will be logging into the LFX Mentorship platform to access and review applicants who applied to be a mentor for your project. If you are still not listed as a mentor for your project on LFX Mentorship please review the documentation here and contact me immediately.
- If a mentee's application status is "withdrawn", please exclude them from your review. It's likely the applicant changed his or her mind and is no longer interested. Additional details on mentee status can be found here.
- A mentee applicant is allowed to apply up to 3 projects, and you will be able to see the other projects the applicant has applied to on LFX Mentorship.
Recommended Review Process
- May 10 - May 16: review applicant's profile, resume and cover letter (also known as "tasks") on LFX Mentorship
- May 13 - May 16: You may assign an additional task, such as a coding challenge, to a subgroup of your applicants using the LFX interface, for further skill evaluation.
- May 17 - May 20: conduct online virtual interviews with the top 5 applicants. The interview can not only help you evaluate the applicants' level of preparedness, qualifications, motivation, and communication styles, but also offer the applicants the opportunity to ask questions related to your project. During your interview, you should also discuss the applicants' availability, vacation plans or personal/academic/job commitment, and if they would like to work full-time (~40 hours a week June through August) or part-time (~20 hours a week June through November). Please review the Hyperledger Mentorship Program schedule as a reference.
- May 21: finalize and let me know your top 3 candidates ranked from top 1 to 3, including your project name, applicant's full name, and full time or part-time preference for each candidate. Please do NOT accept your mentee on LFX yourself. Accepting a mentee on LFX will trigger HR contracting and payment related paperwork. But we need some internal coordination to ensure there is no overlap and we're not accidentally accepting a mentee by mistake. Instead, I, as the program admin for Hyperledger, will accept the mentees on LFX and that will initiate the job offers to the selected mentees.

In the end, we will hire ONE mentee for ONE project. You may have many more interested and/or qualified applicants. But remember, the hired mentee should be the most qualified, the most committed, and best fit for your project. S/he will be held accountable for project deliverables through milestone reviews and regular evaluations and will be compensated (in the form of stipends) for the work s/he completes on the project.
Additionally, one of the main goals of our mentorship program is to provide a structured approach to help new developers become active and long-term contributors. We ask that you look for candidates who are not only technically qualified but also passionate about open source and interested to become active contributors and future champions in the Hyperledger community.
Last but not least, we ask that you give all candidates equal consideration, especially those from underrepresented groups in the open source community.
We will be doing mentor and mentee onboarding 1st week of June when the Program officially starts.
Please reach out to me if you have any questions.
Kind regards,

Hello Bobbi,
I'm a solution architect and fascinated by blockchain technology and its role in philanthropy activities. I saw your project last week on Linux Foundation but it seems the application has already closed. I was wondering if i can help in this project anyways

Program Description
The Hyperledger mentorship program is aimed at creating a structured hands-on learning opportunity for new developers who may otherwise lack the opportunity to gain exposure to Hyperledger open source development and entry to the technical community. It also provides a more defined path for Hyperledger to connect with the next generation of student developers to inject more talent into its development community. Each mentee will apply and be matched with a mentor or mentors who are active developers in the Hyperledger community. Each mentee will work remotely from his/her location of choice. Regular evaluation and feedback will be provided. Mentees may have the opportunity to travel to a Hyperledger conference/event to meet their peers and mentors face-to-face and to present their work to the broader community.
