summary
The LFX Mentorship program runs over 2.5 years and produces concrete outcomes: 12 mentees across two Harbor subprojects (Harbor Satellite and Harbor CLI), recruitment funnels of 20–60 applications per term, and a strict selection by engagement rather than CV. Mentees work three-month cycles, receive financial stipends, avoid core-critical code, and produce two new subprojects, two employments and one maintainer promotion, with one failed completion early on — overall a reproducible route to contributors and hires.
