A Pathway to CNCF Citizenship - via Communitybridge
summary
CommunityBridge (LFX Mentorship) runs a structured, project-based pathway into CNCF: proposals from projects, mentees apply to up to three, then a three-month 12-week coding phase with weekly syncs, a midterm payment and final evaluation. It started with 3 mentees in 2019 and scales to 35 project ideas now; stipends range $3k–$6.6k depending on purchasing power parity. Successful participants often become long‑term contributors after completing deliverables and code reviews.
