This year, we had almost 50 projects, and we couldn't accept all the projects we'd like. I want to thank everyone who participated in the community, submitted proposals, and discussed them with mentors. If you would like feedback, please don't hesitate to respond to this thread, and we will organize it.

I would like to highlight that the decision was based not only on the quality of the proposals but also on additional factors, including the availability of the mentoring teams and the perceived probability of success for the projects. We also considered other factors, including the level of engagement and participation in the community during the application phase. The acceptance decisions are always complicated, especially in foundations, which act as a mentoring organization umbrella for multiple projects.

There are multiple open-source mentorship programs, including some that I am about to start applying for. Everyone is invited to continue participating in open-source communities, and you can definitely consider one of the active programs. I have a few ideas for some applicants and will follow up on that in DM next week.

Thanks, everyone! 🙇
