Linux Foundation Mentorship
OpenEverest participates in the LFX Mentorship program, an initiative from the Linux Foundation that helps developers contribute to open-source projects with hands-on guidance from experienced maintainers.
As a CNCF Sandbox project, OpenEverest takes part in the
LFX Mentorship program — a
structured, paid program that connects aspiring contributors with experienced mentors
to work on real-world cloud-native projects.
Through LFX Mentorship, we welcome new contributors into our community, help them
grow as cloud-native engineers, and ship features that benefit every OpenEverest user.
