Who can be a mentor?

(PMC members, those approved by lazy consensus of the PMC)Any PMC member can mentor in their project implicitly. Additional people can mentor with lazy consensus from the PMC. This should be done by contacting a project to make sure there are no objections to a non-PMC member representing the project as a mentor. This is our own internal guideline; individual PMCs can make their own rules about mentors within that project. Generally speaking, mentoring here follows the same qualifications required to mentor in Google Summer of Code or similar community projects.

What do mentors need to do?

...

• Register on Outreachy and apply to mentor for the Apache community
• Submit a project for interns to work on
• Dedicate at least 5 hours a week during a three month internship period to work with an Outreachy intern
• Read the Outreachy mentor FAQ for answer to questions specific to Outreachy
• Define starter tasks for internship applicants to work on in the application period
  • Avoid burnout during the contribution period and make sure things are set up appropriately
• Review internship applications
• Communicate with intern via preferred media
• Provide feedback via a friction log of the various stages of participation in this program

What projects are eligible?

Note here that "project" is distinct from "PMC/project management committee".

As all Apache code is Apache licensed, this part of qualification for project proposals for internships is already qualified. The other qualification is that the project proposal must be beneficial to free and open source software in general. This means that project proposals to integrate with proprietary software or services will not be accepted by Outreachy.(OSS projects, no proprietary software development)
