The Linux Foundation, the nonprofit organization enabling mass innovation through open source, is launching a virtual mentoring series entitled LF Live: Mentorship Series. The goal of this program is to continue offering opportunities to learn and re-skill to those that have been displaced from jobs as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic; serve those considering jobs in open source by helping to grow their skills and build their network so they are better set up for successful careers; grow the number of people entering the open source job market which has a huge demand for new talent; and (4) encourage new people to apply to The Linux Foundation’s Mentoring Program and other community mentoring programs. These webinars will be complimentary. There is no cost to participate in this program.
