Could the dates here be updated to reflect the ones in https://github.com/cncf/mentoring/tree/main/programs/lfx-mentorship/2024/02-Jun-Aug @nate-double-u? Got confused by the deadline 🙂

[nate-double-u]

Yes we can 😅

Sorry about that, will update it shortly, we just extended the deadlines yesterday to sync better with the GSoC program.

[nate-double-u]

Just a note everyone, we've made an update to the Term 2 schedule: Project proposals are welcome for another couple weeks 🎉
This pushes most things in the schedule back a week or two.

When will the cncf organization will release the all projects ideas ?

[pankaj87072]

hey @nate-double-u is the process is same as gsoc for applying in LFX mentorship program

[Himanshu-kiran]

Hello @pankaj87072 , core structure of program is same as both are open source program but yes there are some differences in application process.

[pankaj87072]

ohk

[pankaj87072]

and we have to do some contribution first right before submitting application

[Himanshu-kiran]

There is nothing like compulsion. But yes if you could feel like solving any issue, raising pull request before submission then obviously it's great.
Go ahead.
