RISC-V Mentorship Proposal Spring 2023
Proposal Submission Guidelines:
- RISC-V Organizational members are welcome to submit a mentorship project proposal for consideration.
- Multiple mentors supervising one mentee per project would be desirable as this helps spread the workload and reduce the challenge of coverage caused by working remotely with a mentee in a different time zone.
- The mentor(s) need to be familiar with the project and is/are expected to directly supervise the hired mentee's technical work.
- The proposed project needs to be clearly scoped and structured to be suitable for a mentorship project.
- The project should be related to one of the current RISC-V technical priorities in support of the RISC-V Community, not specific to the strategy or goals of an independent RISC-V member.
- All technical and supporting deliverables will be contributed to RISC-V International and issued under acceptable open source license.  

Proposal Review/Selection Process and Criteria:
RISC-V Technical Staff reviews all proposals and validates and/or selects projects to open for applications on Linux Foundation LFX Mentorship in coordination with the mentorship program admin.

General selection criteria are:
- The selected proposals have clearly scoped learning objectives and outcomes that are suitable for one to three mentees, either a student developer/researcher or a new contributor, to complete within 12 weeks if working full time (20-30 hours a week).
- The selected proposals will represent a nice mix of project difficulty levels. Some low, medium, and high difficulties.
- The selected proposals will maximize the diversity of the proposals, mentors, and mentees.
- The selected proposals are related to RISC-V technical goals.
- The mentors of the selected proposals will represent a nice mix of experienced and new mentors.

If your project is selected, you will be able to select 1-3 mentees to work on the project but only the first will receive a mentee stipend unless your organization chooses to sponsor the payment for the other two mentees. 

If a mentorship is not selected by RISC-V International, the organization is able to sponsor and pay for the mentorship through the LFX guidelines, paid as a sponsorship.

Submit a mentorship proposal by November 22, 2022.
