The wait is almost over! LFX Mentorship Term 2 results should be released soon.

Good luck to everyone who applied. Whether you get selected or not, completing proposals, engaging with mentors, and contributing to open source is already valuable experience.

​

I keep seeing people ask about LFX, so here's the simplest explanation I can give.

LFX Mentorship is a paid open-source internship program run by the Linux Foundation.

The process is roughly:

1. Open-source organizations publish projects.

2. Applicants contribute to those projects before applying.

3. Mentors review contributions and applications.

4. A few candidates are selected.

5. Selected mentees work with mentors for a few months.

6. Some Successful mentees receive a stipend mainly. CNCF
