Hi @nate-double-u , at this project can anyone apply for it or it's limited to maintainers?

[nate-double-u]

Hi @onasser1, we're trying something new with the program, the "Graduate the kubeadm feature gate WaitForAllControlPlaneComponents to GA" project is specifically only available for project maintainer applications. All the other projects listed (and which will be listed; we're still in the proposals phase) will be open to anyone.

Hi,
@nate-double-u In LFX i am seeing this withdraw option in the application for the project that i was rejected in previous mentorships.

but it is showing me withdraw option in it. what should i do in this situation. can i still apply ?

[nate-double-u]

It looks like you've successfully applied to 3 programs, that's the maximum number of open applications that you can have, so while it's a bit odd, I think this is working correctly. If you're not able to apply for 3, then please open a support ticket: http://support.linuxfoundation.org/ (LFX Support → Get Help with LFX Mentorship)

@nate-double-u can I still apply in any project ?

[nate-double-u]

You can apply to 3, if you're not able to do that please reach out to the support desk.

Hi, not all of the projects have made their selections yet. I've sent out notifications for the ones that have, and am working with the mentors of the rest to get their selections in.
