Could we have the [Ideas page](https://github.com/cncf/mentoring/blob/main/summerofcode/2022.md) open earlier? Motivation for the ask is that the potential mentees want to start exploring the project ideas earlier. Similarly, maintainers want to list their ideas earlier for encouraging a head start.
75
+
76
+
- Options are making the Ideas page availible through out the year
77
+
- Incorporate CLOtributor with the process with `Help wanted` & `Mentor Available` labels
78
+
- AI: Riaan & Jay add CLOTributor to the Mentoring repo
79
+
-**Could use Git discussions for this as well.**
80
+
- GSOC 2022 - Nate opened a thread to support this, however only 15% of this thread was used; also creating alot of overhead to maintain. Because this will all link back to upstream issues; preferred this would occur off the boards.
81
+
- Might also be hard to filter convos back into the issues themselves as well. An ideas page however would give a centralised reference point for those seeking information.
82
+
- We should keep encouraging mentees to reach out to potential mentors; aiming to give mentors more time to make their selections as well.
83
+
- Having alot of mentees/applicants can be difficult to filter/process effectively otherwise.
84
+
- Another option might be for mentees to 'source' their own mentors to support/drive projects as well > Application Process
85
+
- If a potential mentee is interested in a CNCF project and wants to do a mentorship, this should put the impetus on the mentee themselves; this mechanism currently exists but is not explicitly communicated.
86
+
- This might be an issue especially for paid mentorships such as LFX. This could be exploited from a faculty of an education provider for instance that could implement their own mentee without following the preferred process.
87
+
**How to incorporate Clotributor into the existing onboarding process?** Future working session(s) to determine best course of action.
88
+
89
+
**Repo update**
90
+
- Thank you for review Ali & Nate
91
+
- Next step might be to merge in v2 branch
92
+
- Then clean up and distill information in Mentee and Mentor files to a single readme for people to the contribute
93
+
- Try and make the info clear one stop place to find info
94
+
- Might have to hold back on merging in the v2 branch because links have been publish to current repo info.
95
+
- When would be a good time to remove the WIP label from the PR.
96
+
- Likely after updating Mentee and Mentor sections is in a workable state + FAQs
97
+
* Should be rebasing but leave number of commits
98
+
* Folder restructure, mentee/mentor page and FAQ
99
+
* GitHub doesnt have a redirection tool; maintainters have been notified, potential applicants will seek this information - work can be continued once ideas have been confirmed/agreed upon, possibly next week.
100
+
Q. Keep v1 page blank with link to v2 page
101
+
Edit page we would link to, highlight page move. Can hold off on this until the last minute; let's keep it clean in the meantime.
