+
+#### Meshery Model Support for kro ResourceGraphDefinitions (RGDs)
+
+- **Description:** Enhance Meshery's existing orchestration capabilities to include support for kro ResourceGraphDefinitions (RGDs) as first-class Meshery Models. This involves enabling Meshery to manage and orchestrate RGDs, similar to how it handles other Kubernetes resources. The project will also include generating support for ResourceGraphDefinition in Meshery's Model generator.
+- **Expected outcome:**
+ - Meshery will be able to orchestrate and manage kro RGDs. This includes the ability to deploy, configure, and manage the lifecycle of RGDs through Meshery.
+ - The Meshery Model generator will be updated to automatically generate models for kro RGDs, simplifying their integration and management within Meshery. This will be an officially supported feature of Meshery.
+- **Recommended Skills:** Golang, Cuelang, Well-written and well-spoken English, Kubernetes, DevOps
+- **Mentor(s):** Lee Calcote, Mia Grenell
+- **Expected project size:** 350 hours
+- **Difficulty:** Medium
+- **Upstream Issue (URL):** https://github.com/meshery/meshery/issues/13520
+
+#### Hands-on tutorials using Meshery Playground
+
+- **Description:** Learning paths with hands-on labs are a crucial resource for DevOps engineers and cloud-native practitioners. The Meshery Playground provides a live cluster environment, making it an ideal platform for learning every kind of cloud and cloud native technology. Meshery Docs is in need of comprehensive tutorials and scenarios covering common infrastructure management use cases. Mission is to create and publish a series of hands-on tutorials using Meshery Playground. Each tutorial will include step-by-step guides, live demonstrations, and interactive labs using the Playground allowing learners to apply their knowledge directly without the hassle of any configuration.These tutorials will be reviewed by various project maintainers and then published in guides/tutorials.

+
+
+ Layer5 projects are open source software. Anyone can download, use, work on,
+ and share it with others. It's built on principles like collaboration,
+ globalism, and innovation. Layer5 projects are distributed under the terms of
+ Apache v2.
+
+
+
About Layer5
+
+
+We want to participate to help first-time open source contributors get started and what will hopefully be a lifelong journey of open source participation. We want to have them have a great first experience, understand what it means to be embraced by empathy and, in turn, to have empathy for others. We are all learning and growing each day. Our organization and community culture has a pay-it-forward mentality. We spend a lot of time with both students and adults alike, tutoring them, supporting them, and watching them grow. We believe that the world has too few truly diverse and perpetually encouraging open source communities. We take our internships very seriously and grow and support interns to dramatically increase their career velocity. We love helping others learn and grow.
+
+
+Mentoring and seeing others learn and grow is what Layer5 is all about - they grow, we grow. Layer5 is a platform for mentees to hoist themselves up on and leapfrog from. We’re a platform for shared success. Direct participation in GSoC will be most meaningful to the community.
+
+
+We interact daily over Slack, and have an open source project meeting everyday, which are posted to the community YouTube channel.

About Layer5 and its projects
+
+
The Layer5 community embraces developer-defined infrastructure. We empower developers to change how they write applications, support operators in rethinking how they run modern infrastructure, and enable product owners to regain full-control over their product portfolio. Our cloud native application and infrastructure management software enables organizations to expect more from their infrastructure.
+
+
Our inclusive and diverse community stewards projects to provide learning environments, create and implement cloud native industry standards, deployment and operational best practices, benchmarks and abstractions, and more. Our pay-it-forward mentality with every contributor (mentee or not) is a shared commitment by all maintainers (and MeshMates - contributor onboarding buddies) to the open source spirit that pushes Layer5 projects like Meshery forward. New members are always welcome.
+
+
About Meshery
+
+
Meshery is the open source, service mesh management plane for enabling the adoption, operation, and management of any service mesh and their workloads. There are many service meshes available. Software-defined networking is difficult to understand. Meshery’s aim is to make the power of the network available to the rest of us.
+
+
About our Community
+
+Layer5 is all about its community of contributors. We have designed an onboarding program customized to meet newcomers where they’re at and developed an onboarding buddy program, MeshMates with individuals dedicated to assisting contributors. The Layer5 community and its open source projects are thriving.
+
+Technical writers and other contributors are what comprise Layer5 - an open organization, built by the community for the community. Our vibrant community has seen many talented student contributors go on to secure exciting job opportunities with renowned technology companies such as Red Hat, Microsoft, and VMware, just to name a few. At Layer5, we have high expectations from our interns, and in return, we provide them with incredible opportunities to showcase their work on prestigious stages like DockerCon and KubeCon. We actively promote and uplift our interns, and many of them have gone on to become project maintainers. There are many, many examples of this on the layer5.io websites.
