Prioritizing it across projects can help ensure sustainability and future success. Newcomers often struggle to find their way when joining a community. While some manage to push through the challenges, many need more guidance. This is where mentorship comes in – the bridge that transforms curious newcomers into active, long-term contributors. But mentorship isn’t just about helping others; it’s a two-way street where both mentors and mentees learn and grow. It keeps knowledge flowing, reduces burnout, and creates a shared sense of pride in the community’s progress. In this talk, we’ll explore The Fedora Project’s approach to mentorship, highlighting our work with the Fedora Mentoring Initiative, Fedora Mentor Summit, and Fedora Ambassadors Program.
