Notes

• @AceTheCreator shared a link to the selected project for the mentorship Program after discussing it with ten selected candidates. They also mentioned sharing their screen before doing so.

• @AceTheCreator Screenshared The discussion revolved around the selection process for a mentorship program, where mentors had to make difficult decisions due to the high number of outstanding proposals. The rejection of candidates should not be taken personally, as it was based on selecting the best candidate for each project.

• @AceTheCreator shared some light on a discussion that revolved around a participant in the mentorship program who had joined a paid mentorship program despite the program's rules against it. The mentors ultimately decided to allow the participant to continue in the program based on their own judgment.

• @AceTheCreator shared a discussion around the rule that participants in other paid open-source mentorship programs should not apply for the Async API mentorship program, with some members questioning its fairness. They also discussed the importance of transparency and the final decision-making power of the mentors and briefly touched upon the topic of attending the Singapore conference.

• In the conversation, @AceTheCreator asked about attending a conference in London and if there would be any support for travel expenses. V. Thulisile clarified that speakers' conference tickets are covered, but flight tickets would require additional financial assistance, which can be requested through a separate form after the call for speakers ends.

@thulieblack mentioned upcoming events in the discussion and encouraged participation in the async API ambassador program and the Code of Conduct Committee nominations.

@AceTheCreator expressed the need for more designers in the community and discussed the purpose of contribution meetings.

In the past discussion, V. Thulisile, _acebuild, Dale, and others talked about implementing conference designs and involving new contributors, including a project manager. They also mentioned the mentorship program's stipends and payment structure and expressed excitement for future contributions and meetings.
