• Developer Mentorship (Open Source): Advise platform developers on the Open Source License Review process, clarifying licensing and attribution requirements. Collaborate with OSRB for sophisticated or uncertain cases.
• Office Hours & Support: Host bi-weekly office hours and respond to questions in Slack support channels, using playbooks and established guidance to ensure developers receive consistent and timely support.

What We Need To See
