LFX Mentorship Showcase
Tuesday, May 19
Time: 5:00 – 6:30 PM
Location: Solutions Showcase, Ballroom A+B, Level 1
The LFX Mentorship Showcase is an opportunity for graduating mentees of the LFX Mentorship program to showcase the work they completed during their session term. This year, the showcase will be held as a dynamic poster session and demo event taking place during the Tux Trek. This interactive experience offers a unique opportunity to meet newly graduated mentees, explore their open source contributions, and engage in meaningful discussions about their work.
Whether you’re looking to recruit new talent, network with emerging developers, or learn about the latest innovations from LF mentorship projects, this showcase is the perfect place to connect. Stop by, support the next generation of open source contributors, and discover how mentorship is shaping the future of technology!
The Linux Foundation’s Mentorship Program helps developers – many of whom are first-time open source contributors – gain the skills and experience necessary to contribute effectively to open source communities.
