LFX: Add Cilium Governance Project

[Lydia02]

Hello everyone, I'm Lydia Ojoawo. I'm a software engineer student at the African Leadership University Kigali Rwanda. I'm interested in the mentoring program. I have a knowledge about open source and I will really want to explore the cloud native field too. Could anyone guide me through the whole process? Thank you

@Lydia02 thanks for your interest. The applications will open on the 29th

[xmulligan]

Yes I think there will be enough work with everything we have going on in the project.

Is the second mentor a hard requirement or just a request?

I'm happy to join the EMEA session

Is the second mentor a hard requirement or just a request?

It's a request—in recent terms we've had an issue where some mentors have missed some deadlines for things like evaluations and we're trying to make sure we have communication coverage.

That all said, we've not had any trouble with Cilium projects, so I'm happy to let you be a solo mentor 🙂

[xmulligan]

Thank you looking forward to mentor again. We actually just hired one of our previous mentees based on his work in the program!

[nate-double-u]

That's awesome! They'd be a great candidate for a co-mentor, virtuous cycle! One of my favourite things to hear is when a mentee becomes a maintainer and then a mentor 😃

[xmulligan]

Yes, it could happen in the future when we have some more projects around Tetragon
