The Linux Foundation Launches LF Live: Mentorship Series

November 10, 2020 By admin

Open Source Maintainers and community leaders will host virtual mentorship sessions designed to provide expert knowledge and valuable interactive discussion across a range of topics related to the Linux Kernel and other OS projects, primarily around development. These Mentorship Webinars are free for anyone to attend, and are being offered to support the development of skills and further empowerment of the community.

The Linux Foundation, the nonprofit organization enabling mass innovation through open source, is launching a virtual mentoring series entitled LF Live: Mentorship Series. The goal of this program is to (1) continue offering opportunities to learn and re-skill to those that have been displaced from jobs as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic; (2) serve those considering jobs in open source by helping to grow their skills and build their network so they are better set up for successful careers; (3) grow the number of people entering the open source job market which has a huge demand for new talent; and (4) encourage new people to apply to The Linux Foundation’s Mentoring Program and other community mentoring programs. These webinars will be complimentary. There is no cost to participate in this program.

Each webinar topic will be different, but will primarily be technical and applicable to the Linux Kernel, as well as to other open source projects. The first webinar was held on October 29 and covered ‘Writing Change Logs that Make Sense, led by Shuah Khan, Kernel Maintainer & Fellow, The Linux Foundation. The recording of the session can be viewed here and the slides can be viewed here. Upcoming Mentorship Webinars include:
