Earlier this month, we officially kickstarted the AsyncAPI Mentorship Program. After receiving an overwhelming response of over 90+ applications for the program, we inducted 13 mentees into the AsyncAPI mentorship program. We are thrilled to welcome these talented individuals and look forward to seeing them grow and excel in their respective projects. Additionally, we are excited that our budget of $19,500 for the AsyncAPI Mentorship Program got approved, which means we can compensate all successful mentees of the program. We are grateful for the support and look forward to a successful program.

Spec x Tooling
The work on the pre-release version of AsyncAPI Studio is now in progress. The implementation will include the support of validating AsyncAPI v3 documents. If you want to follow the development process or contribute, please check out the ShapeUP dashboard.
On the other hand, we have released the initial versions of three protocol bindings. Our gratitude goes out to:
- Adam Retter for contributing to the JMS binding, Richard Coppen, and Steve Head for agreeing to maintain it long-term.
- Ian Cooper and Dec Kolawski for contributing and being maintainers to the SNS binding and SQS binding.
Thanks to the involvement of various community members in reviewing the changes.
Design
Our design contributor community is experiencing significant growth, and we are thrilled to see our onboarding process going smoothly. More talented individuals joining the community will bring fresh ideas and different perspectives and further foster collaboration and creativity in the initiative. Additionally, Maya is currently leading a design for our website, and we're eager to see all the great insights she'll bring to enhance our website even better.
