Proposal Submission Guidelines

  • Project maintainers, active contributors and community members are welcome to submit a mentorship project proposal for consideration.
  • Multiple mentors supervising one mentee per project is more desirable as this helps spread the mentoring workload and reduce the challenge of coverage caused by working remotely with mentees from a different time zone.
  • Mentors need to be knowledgeable about the scope, goals, and technical aspects of the project and is/are expected to directly supervise the mentee's technical, documentation, or research work for the duration of the mentorship.

  • The proposed project needs to be clearly scoped and structured to be suitable for a mentorship project. The mentee is expected to contribute 15-20 hours a week on a consistent basis 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 mentors are be ready to be the sponsor of the mentorship project as a Hyperledger Lab when the mentorship commences. 

Proposal Review/Selection Process and Criteria

  • The TOC reviews proposals and validate and/or select projects with development focus, and the Hyperledger Foundation staff will review and select projects with business research focus. Selected 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 are suitable for one mentee, either a student developer/researcher or a new contributor, to complete within 12 weeks if working full time or 24 weeks if working part time.  
    • The selected proposals will represent a nice mix of project difficulty levels. Some low, medium, and high difficulties.
    • The selected proposals will maximize the diversity of the proposals, mentors, and mentees.
    • 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/maintainer base of the related Hyperledger project or lab or ecosystem.
