Mentees

I am a mentee from outside the U.S. When will I receive my stipend?

It may take up to 30 business days for the funds to be processed via wire-transfer and released by a bank outside the United States.

I have submitted all prerequisite tasks. Why is my application still pending?

After you have marked all prerequisite tasks as 'Submitted' , the mentorship admin will be notified. Your application status as a whole will remain as "Pending" until the admin changes it to 'Accepted' or 'Declined'.

How do I upload proof of eligibility for the prerequisite task "Participation permission from school or employer"?

An upload is not necessary. By marking the prerequisite task as 'Submitted', you are certifying that you have permission from your school or employer to participate in the mentorship program.

I have graduated from an LFX Mentorship. Can I participate in another LFX Mentorship?

Per the eligibility rules listed on https://docs.linuxfoundation.org/lfx/mentorship/mentees, you may not be a prior or an active participant in another Linux Foundation mentorship program.

Mentors

How can I be added as a mentor?

The mentorship administrator can invite you to become a mentor. They must use the same email address as the one in your mentor profile. If you've not yet created a mentor profile, you should use the same email in your profile you were invited with.

You can also apply to the project via your mentor profile. In the 'Mentorship Program Details' section, you can select the mentorship and the mentorship admin will be notified of your application.

How can I assign tasks to all mentees?

You can +Add Task to all ACCEPTED mentees, or you can select the mentees one by one. You cannot edit prerequisite tasks.

Administrators

How can I add another administrator for my mentorship?

At this time, there can only be 1 administrator per mentorship.
