Build the project. Grow the people. Maintainers get help onboarding new contributors and build relationships with the goal of continued contribution beyond the program. Planning, product management, and team leadership become visible through the work.
Developers follow a guided path for a defined period, receive structured feedback and mentorship, and practice communication, collaboration, and responding to review. They build evidence of work, growth, and experience they choose to share with recruiters and hiring managers.
