I need mentoring as am a student and a newbie who only just joined the slack channels of CNCF . I read in the readme of this repo, that I can open an issue if I require mentoring , pls provide some more details about the same

Tentative dates - https://docs.linuxfoundation.org/lfx/mentorship/mentorship-program-timelines

CNCF has been participating in the Google Summer of Code during the last few years (eg. see our 2020 report - https://www.cncf.io/blog/2020/09/17/16-cncf-interns-graduate-from-summer-of-code-gsoc-2020/), and now we are ready to start the 2020 program cycle. We have already applied to participate in GSoC 2021, and we should receive the final confirmation from Google after March 9 (https://developers.google.com/open-source/gsoc/timeline).

Let's plan our activities for GSoC'2021.

On the CNCF Community Bridge README, the link for "Community Bridge documentation website" (under Mentees) is broken. Can someone fix this? Thanks! :)

Should the README.md be updated with information about how the CNCF, as a mentoring organization for GSoC, will be performing the selection process on submitted proposals? In particular, I'm curious about the following:

• Will the mentors for each project be responsible for reviewing proposals for their project? Or will the CNCF be the only reviewers?
• Is there a limited number of proposals that can be accepted for the whole CNCF organization? Is there a limit per project?

Apologies if an issue isn't appropriate for tracking this information or if I missed this info in what's already published. Thanks!

Similar to #164, but for CB.

This idea was originally added by @thockin in doc

Now it's missing, and I just hope it come back.

OPA has submitted couple of projects for Community Bridge 2020 Q2.

The OPA page on the Community Bridge website says "This project is pending approval!".

create something like this https://github.com/cncf/sig-contributor-strategy/blob/master/.github/settings.yml

so we can manage admins for the repo

i.e., https://medium.com/@arthursens2005/my-first-real-experience-with-open-source-59728469ca52

I applied through the community bridge website and one of the task I have to complete is called "Full Specification"

but when I try to access that link, it is broken.

Hello, I am interested in plugin of containerd for katacontainer runtime.I read the preliminary design doc for containerd plugin.but I am confused about architecture that showed in a doc.Correct me if I am wrong but we are trying to build a replacement for docker runtime "runc" with "katacontainer" runtime for kubernetes and later for docker.Is that right?Please give me more information about following "architecture of plugin" which showed an image:

I am familiar with docker container state diagram which is: dockerd -> containerd -> runc.
Can someone Please give me some inside of how this same thing works on kata-container runtime and which security benefits they provide?

After the successful completion of the Q2 phase, we are going to kick off the Q3-Q4 stage of the program later this year.

Timeline and details will be provided soon.

Hey folks,
Based on the timeline it appears that CNCF only provides full time mentorship(LFX) opportunities.
Is there a reason for not allowing part time mentees? Is the target set of mentees limited to students or are working professionals encouraged to apply for these as well?

Thanks :)

The link for the Q12020 projects, points to Q2020, I will send in a PR to fix this https://github.com/cncf/mentoring/tree/master/communitybridge#program-cycles-and-archive-data

In the repository when clicking on CNCF mentoring site it is not redirecting to your site it is redirecting to the same GitHub page please solve it :))

Hi,

Freifunk was not selected as an GSOC2020 org, could you consider recycling this project of PPA for OpenWRT:

https://github.com/freifunk/projects.freifunk.net-contents/blob/master/collections/_projects/openwrt_ppa.md

Best regards,

There is no information about which information should we include on the draft to be submitted on the GSoC platform. May you add some information about it?
I would love to contribute on some projects this summer with you!!

Let's create an outreachy folder and catalog results here like we do for other projects.

I see that there is no profile link of mentees that completed projects.It would be great if we could have links to their github or communitybridge profiles so people can know more about them.

For each CB project, can we link to the official CB page?

i.e., https://people.communitybridge.org/project/bce45251-1ff4-4131-9699-0a0017b31495

Dear maintainers:

I am interested in CNCF projects, but I miss Q2'2020, so I want to know does Community Bridge have Q3 '2020？If yes, can you provide specific time plan? I want to prepare beforehand, thanks~

There is no channel with the name #mentoring on CNCF slack.

Hi,
I am interested in contributing to project : "Develop a set of Jupyter Notebooks for the Python Client" and have experience working with docker containers and clusters(kubernetes and swarm). Can someone guide for initial contributions to the project.

Thanks,
Shrenik Jain

Google has announced Google Code-in 2017 program

1. Find Google Code-in timeline here.
2. Tasks are categorized as:
   • Code
   • Documentation/Training
   • Outreach/Research
   • QA or UI/UX

@caniszczyk We need to gather tasks(relevant for GCI) and add it on google sheet to get ready for applying CNCF as GCI orgs.

• GSoC Mentoring mailing list
• GSoC Calendar invites out as reminders of deadlines (2 days before due)
• Add all current mentors to both

Adding links to proposals and final work product submissions by past GSoC students would prove useful to the newer cohort.

Final work product submissions are public anyway, so IMO it should be fine to include them. Proposals aren't public by default so we can make it optional and students could PR a link to it if they want. :)

Thoughts, @idvoretskyi @caniszczyk?

The current timeline goes like this

    - December 5 2019 - December 15 2019: applications opened
    - December 16 2019: 5 projects/slots are announced by CNCF
    - December 16 2019 - March 16 2020: coding
    - March 20 2020: results announced

This doesn't mention when the selected students are announced for each project. And I am assuming that the Dec-March coding period refers to the project implementation rather than the period for submitting beginner patches for the projects in order to get selected. Can you clear this up @idvoretskyi ?

Also the 5 Dec to 15 Dec application period is it just open for project mentors or also for students. This timeline never mentions when should the student start working on their projects.

The application guidelines link referenced in the readme file returns a 404(Page not found) error.
Here's the link https://docs.linuxfoundation.org/display/DOCS/Apply+to+a+Project

I applied through the community bridge website and one of the task I have to complete is called "Full Specification"

but when I try to access that link, it is broken.

There's not other place where I know I can ask about this

Readme says that we can do two community bridge mentorships, but according to community bridge guidelines a candidate can only do one community bridge mentorship overall.

CNCF has successfully participated in GSoC 2018, having 7 of 7 projects accepted and passed the final evaluations.

Now it's time to start planning the GSoC 2019 participation.

GSoC 2019 is done - https://www.cncf.io/blog/2019/08/23/cncf-joins-google-summer-of-code-2019-with-17-interns-projects-for-containerd-coredns-kubernetes-opa-prometheus-rook-and-more/.

This is a placeholder issue to start GSoC 2020 planning.

See cncf/ambassadors#21 for previous discussions

some prior art: https://blog.docker.com/2017/05/announcing-docker-student-developer-kit-campus-ambassador-program/

I've reviewed the Docker work, and the most compelling part is the Student Ambassador program (which doesn't seem to be currently active.)
Other Prior Art which seems to be more active:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_Student_Mentor_Program#The_Fedora_Student_Mentor_Programme

Goals:

A way to encourage students to get involved with Cloud Native
Promotion through student-led workshops + talks
Mentorship connections with existing ambassadors
Needs:

Mentors
A signup process
A quick reworking of existing material to align with student needs + desires
Stickers
Fedora has Flock this week so I'm not likely to be able to raise any of that group for a quick 'how we did it', but I'll put that in my inbox for the week of the 12th.

What else am I missing for a quick MVP program for student ambassadors?

This might be a first step https://github.com/sergioarmgpl/operating-systems-usac-course

We should have a section in the top level README.md that showcases stats for internships across years (separating out summer of code + cb)

CNCF is happy to announce that the LFX Mentorship program (previously known as Community Bridge) is open for project applications for the Spring 2021 cycle. The full program description you may find at the CNCF mentoring repo (https://github.com/cncf/mentoring/tree/master/lfx-mentorship).

Project maintainers and potential mentors are welcome to submit their ideas via submitting a PR to GitHub here (https://github.com/cncf/mentoring/blob/master/lfx-mentorship/2021/01-Spring/project_ideas.md), by Jan 31st.

In seasonofdocs/README.md Falco's website is a link to https://falcosecurity.org/ and I believe the correct URL should be https://falco.org/

NOTE: I didn't checked any other reference/link

I am a Gopher and a student from SEL laboratory of Zhejiang University, I am digging into kubernetes and SDN when pursuing my master degree, and contribute some code in cri-containerd, stackube and ovn-kubernetes projects.

We have a proposal for kubernetes workload benchmarker which was inspired from PerfKitBenchmarker project which focuses on VM, and this proposal will focuses on the capability of kubernetes by providing wrappers and workload definitions around popular benchmark tools.

This is our proposal. And I have already created a repository capstan and have completed the development of the basic testing framework.

We plan to push it into kubernetes-incubator initially, but we found that kubernetes-incubator has been frozen temporarily. So we want to put it as a idea of gsoc and we can achieve it with high quality under the guide of mentor which has talked about with @idvoretskyi

Here's some question:

1. The idea can not come from the exited repository under CNCF?

2. We find the mentor of the idea who interested in it by ourselves or cncf will help it?

3. Only one student accomplish one idea?

/cc @caniszczyk @idvoretskyi

I can’t merge PRs, and I’d like to be able to. What’s the best syntax or approach here?

Wow! Excited to have CNCF GSoC 2017!

Here's something I am not fully aware of:

1. Will all the ideas listed in idea doc be reviewed by GSoC, and then pick out the final ideas? Or, these are already final ideas?

2. What's the timeline when final ideas are ready so student can start to participate?

3. How to apply as mentor? For example, feiskyer (the approver of remote CRI) & me (reviewer of sig-node) are interested to mentor Containerd CRI, we have updated the idea doc, is it enough?

We have some amazing stories like Nikhta, Goutham and others that started out via a mentoring program via CNCF. @idvoretskyi please work with @KimMcMahon to see if we can highlight them on the blog in some way and also add their short story in the README :)

Can we please add links to IRC channel in the project idea along with mentor information?

This would be very helpful to directly go to IRC channel and ask questions to the community.

It makes it much easier to filter ;)
