Project Idea 2- AI-Powered AsyncAPI GeneratorDescription: Create an AI-based extension for the AsyncAPI Generator that automatically generates initial AsyncAPI specifications from natural language descriptions or existing API documentation. Leveraging NLP models, this tool can take user-provided requirements and convert them into accurate AsyncAPI specs. Skills Needed: AI/ML (NLP), AsyncAPI, API Design, JavaScript/TypeScript |

Project idea: Goal the same as in GSoC. During mentorship I can show how boring and tiring the work of maintainer is. If you somehow manage to stay until the end of mentorship and not run away, you will for sure have a strong understanding that becoming an open source maintainer is a bad career path. 😆 |

RequirementsInterested? Your proposal should demonstrate:
and answer this one simple question: Why on earth would you want to become a maintainer of an open-source project?? |

You are really short-selling the project! While there are many tiring tasks, I think being a maintainer is a great learning experience for me to understand a codebase and improve upon it. It will involve a lot of things that developers would actually encounter in real-life work environment. On that side, this is why this experience is valuable: you can build exciting new features anywhere, but maintaining an exiting codebase is not a commonly found opportunity, where you will learn how to communicate, work with others, and turn ideas into actual codes. |

While analyzing the codebase I found that the test suite is currently in vanilla JS, one task can also be added in epic issue to migrate the test suite files to typescript, @akshatnema what are your suggestions on this ? |

It seems an easy task for me 😄 |

We can enhance the project’s testing strategy by using Cypress instead of Jest. Cypress offers superior tools for end-to-end testing, providing faster setup, real-time reloading, and a more reliable testing experience. This transition will streamline development workflows and improve overall quality assurance. And I'd love to work on the same. Thanks |

Hey @imabp This is part of a research and usability project, not a design. I made a change to the link. Can you please take a look at it again? |

In addition, this project requires someone who will take the role of a Maintainer at the end of the project for the badges, as this is only the first phase rollout. |

AsyncAPI Docs Project Idea: The AsyncAPI documentation must include a persona-driven journey for different roles, such as documentation contributors, code contributors, ambassadors, maintainers, etc.
As part of the maintainership goals, this project requires someone interested in becoming a docs triage (maintainer-in-training). Contribute to AsyncAPI Docs |

Namaste, Awesome Community! 🚀
🔔 Exciting News!
Ace here, and I'm thrilled to announce that the AsyncAPI mentorship program is back for another amazing year!
This time around, we're expanding our horizons. Not only are we welcoming code-related projects, but we're also still opening the doors to design and technical writing. So, whether you're a developer, designer, or wordsmith 😌, there's a place for you in this year's program! 😊
Last year marked our second chapter and the first-ever diverse project in the AsyncAPI mentorship journey, and we saw 12 out of the 13 candidates complete their projects 🥳. While using what we learned from the challenges from the past editions, the experience was overwhelmingly positive, laying a solid foundation for this year's program, and we're ready to make this year even better!
🌍 Why Are We Doing This?
At AsyncAPI, the community is at the heart of everything we do. This program is more than just a mentorship; it's our way of giving back, sharing our passion for open source, and growing the community we love. By nurturing the next generation of open-source contributors, we're expanding our reach and building a legacy 🫣.
This year, AsyncAPI is participating in GSoC, in case you aren't aware we didn't make it for GSoD this year.
Did you miss out on GSoC or show interest in our missing GSoD participation? Don’t worry, this is your chance to shine!
In this edition, we are prioritizing project ideas that not only align with our goals but also pave the way for contributors to evolve into maintainers. By focusing on these pathways, we aim to foster a culture of maintainership, long-term commitment, and deeper engagement within our projects. We encourage ideas that provide contributors with the necessary skills, mentorship, and experience to take on maintainer roles, ensuring the sustainability and continuous growth of our initiatives.
💡 Got Project Ideas?
Do you have an innovative project idea? We want to hear from you, whether it's something new or a concept that didn't make it in other programs! Submit your ideas as a GitHub issue, a separate discussion, or drop a comment below. Your proposal can be in Engineering, Design, or Technical Writing.
There's no strict template; give us the details, and we'll help refine it. Our program organizers are core members of the AsyncAPI community and strong advocates for open source, will guide you every step of the way.
Project Ideas Deadline
You have 3 weeks from today to submit your project ideas. Let’s get creative! 🎨
📅 Program Timeline
The program will run for 12 - 18 weeks, depending on the project’s complexity. Here’s what the timeline looks like:
💰 Program Budget
This year, we offer 8 mentorship slots, each with a total budget of $15,000. Mentees will receive a stipend of $1,500, and mentors will receive a fixed stipend of $500 per project. If a project has multiple mentors, the stipend will shared.
💸 Payment Details
Stipends will be paid via Open Collective. You’ll receive a part payment after passing the first evaluation and the rest after the final evaluation. The details on program rules and guidelines can be found here.
