Hi all,
Are there any limitations or recommendations regarding the number of ideas submitted per project?

Hello @yada
Is cncf select all the project which you have given or some of them based on some ranking??

[yada]

Not so far as we just submitted our project ideas (deadline is Feb 4th), see: #1338: you're welcome if you want to join or are interested in some of them (as mentee or mentor) ;)

Hi @yada, sorry i missed this question!

I've responded over on your PR, but wanted to close the loop here too: #1338 (comment)

We make suggestions where needed. The program isn't so large yet that we've needed a formal ranking process yet.
