Proposal Submission Guidelines

  • Project maintainers, active contributors and community members are welcome to submit a mentorship project proposal for consideration. Those who submit the project proposals will serve in the mentor role.
  • Multiple mentors supervising one mentee per project would be more desirable as this helps spread the mentoring workload and reduce the challenge of coverage caused by working remotely with mentees from a mentee in a different time zone.
  • The mentor(s) Mentors need to be familiar with knowledgeable about the scope, goals, and technical aspects of the project and is/are expected to directly supervise the hired mentee's technical or research workwill directly guide, supervise, and evaluate the mentee's work for the duration of the mentorship.

  • The proposed project needs to be clearly scoped and structured to be suitable for a mentorship projectwith clear objectives and outcomes, serving as a springboard to onboard a new contributor into the community.

  • The outcome envisioned for the project can be accomplished under the mentor's guidance by a new contributor working ~15-20 hours a week for 24 weeks.

  • The project should be related to one of the current Hyperledger Projects or Labs or the Hyperledger ecosystem at large.

  • The outcome of the project will benefit the existing Hyperledger Projects or Labs or advance the Hyperledger open source community's work at large.  

  • The mentor(s) should be mentors are ready to be the sponsor of the mentorship project as a Hyperleger Hyperledger Lab if the project is not already part of a Hyperledger Project or Lab when the mentorship commences. This ensures that the project progress can be tracked and the project output can be publicly accessible to the community.
