  • 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 hours a week for ~ 6 months.

  • The project should be related to one of the current Hyperledger LF Decentralized Trust Projects or Labs or the community at large.

  • The outcome of the project will benefit the existing Hyperledger Projects or Labs an existing LF Decentralized Trust Project or Lab or advance the Hyperledger decentralized trust 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 a LF Decentralized Trust Lab if the project is not already part of a 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.
