Communication Channels

Effective communication is the foundation of a successful mentorship experience. To support smooth collaboration throughout the AsyncAPI Mentorship Program (AMP), we’ve established several dedicated communication channels for participants, mentors, and organizers.

Slack (Primary Communication Hub)

Slack is the main platform for real-time communication during the program. Once accepted, participants will be added (if not already) to the official AsyncAPI Slack workspace.

Key channels include:

• #mentorships – Program-wide updates, announcements, and shared resources.
• #maintainership-[year]-cohort – Dedicated support channel for contributors to ask questions and seek guidance.
• #maintainership-[year]-mentors – Mentor-only space for coordination, shared tips, and updates.
• Direct Messages (DMs) – For private, one-on-one conversations with mentors, mentees, or program organizers.

Please stay responsive to messages and maintain timely communication.

GitHub

GitHub is the primary platform for managing and tracking project work.

• Repositories – Each project will have a dedicated GitHub repository for code, issues, and pull requests.
• GitHub Discussions – Used by program organizers to share updates, request feedback, announce planning decisions, and collect project ideas.

Contributors must follow contribution guidelines and use clear, descriptive messages.

Email

All official communications from the AMP team — including evaluation reminders, key deadlines, and other important announcements — will be sent via email.

Be sure to check your inbox regularly and avoid missing critical updates from the program organizers.

Calendar Invites

Major events such as kickoff calls and community meetings will be scheduled through our shared community calendar.

Staying Updated

To stay informed throughout the program:

• Monitor the #mentorships channel on Slack for official notices.
• Regularly check your email for evaluation and event updates.
• Watch the GitHub Discussions board for announcements and opportunities to engage.

Tip: Turn on Slack and program's GitHub discussions notifications to ensure you never miss important updates.

If you’re ever unsure where to post a question or whom to ask, don’t hesitate to reach out to your mentor or a program organizer.
