Project Proposal Submission Template

Please use this template to submit your mentorship project proposal.


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 is more desirable as this helps spread the mentoring workload and reduce the challenge of coverage caused by due to 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 will directly guide, supervise, and evaluate the mentee'stechnical, 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 weekswith 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 Hyperledger ecosystem 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 mentors are be ready to be the sponsor of the mentorship project as a Hyperledger LF Decentralized Trust Lab if the project is not already part of a Project or 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 adminA TAC Mentorship Program Task Force will review, evaluate, and select proposals to ensure the selected mentorships projects will benefit the LF Decentralized Trust projects or community.
