Timeline:

Code: Select all

January 4 17:00 UTC       | Mentoring organizations can begin submitting applications to Google
January 23 17:00 UTC 	  | Mentoring organization application deadline
January 23 - February 11  | Google program administrators review organization applications
February 12 	           | List of accepted mentoring organizations published
  1. I will be one of org admins. Backup admin is required, who wants?
  2. There is a single Ideas page for new developers, both GSoC students and 'regular' ones. Maintained (ha-ha) year-round.
  3. Maximum of 2 students this year. We don't manage more.
  4. Mentors mentor specific tasks, just like last year. Please, mentor only what you are competent to mentor.
  5. Easy task (completed, with tests and examples, merged to trunk) is better than useful difficult one (half finished as always).
  6. The more ideas the better. Long detailed descriptions are appreciated.
  7. Mentor--student conversation is mandatory public, except debug sessions. Chat, IRC, board, etc.
  8. Daily students' commits to public (git?) repo as a report without writing many words.
  9. Aim: attract new developers. Not resolve old known issues which old known developers didn't resolve.
Your ideas and time are also welcome.

So, what's all this silence about?

It seems nobody is interested or has enough time. As always we need mentors and another admin.

We have less than 10 days left to submit an application, so we must decide now whether we should participate at all.

It makes sense to participate only if at least four of us agree to be put in the table.

To participate in GSoC this year we need one more org admin and two mentors. Please, show up ASAP.
I don't see any possibility to fill an application if we lack such a minimal resource.

I can take a part as a mentor. Loop device driver creating is an interesting project.
