Welcome to the Linux Foundation Forum!

When is the next cohort of Linux Kernel Bug fixing program going to start ?

Posts: 7
in LFX Mentorship: Linux Kernel

I googled it and got to know that it happens thrice a year ( Spring/Fall/Winter). So the next cohort would start from May?

    Hi. I am looking at the Linux kernel Bug Fixing Summer Unpaid 2024, it says applications are closed. Was the application period not starting today?

    I believe it's April 15. There's at least a month after where the skill evaluation takes place. I found the dates posted for the program however, it was quite difficult to find and I've since lost it. IIRC if you're chosen - the actual work begins in June

    https://wiki.linuxfoundation.org/lkmp has a little information, but nothing relevant towards dates. You might get a faster response on the IRC; in the meantime feel free to come hang out in the unofficial summer 2025 discord server https://discord.gg/H59XvaTm

    @tthelen The Discord link did not work when I tried on my phone.

    The discord channel is for Accepted mentees who are in the program. Don't share the link with others - Summer session starts on June 1st

    Does Fall batch have a part-time option?

    Ah I wasn't aware that there was an official discord channel. The link I shared is independent of an official one (it's just a group of us chatting about work, the kernel, and any problems while doing the tasks).

    Not sure if this is accurate. Knowing my absolutely terrible luck, probably not.
    However, https://docs.linuxfoundation.org/lfx/mentorship/mentorship-program-timelines.

    Path: Mentor Guide -> Introduction -> Program Structure.
