Hi folks,

I have received $1000 from Google which is $500 for each student we mentored. Students are paid separately, this is our money.

* Technically, I will have to pay some taxes. But leave the taxes on me. Consider we have the full $1k.

* I don't want any of this money.

* I can send it almost anywhere including Russia.

So, any ideas how to spend it? Here is what I can think of:

1. Send everything to XVilka because he has been paying for our server for years.
2. Split between the mentors (except me).
3. Pay for some new code?
4. Pay for some existing code?

Hi!

Not claiming the rightness or importance of my opinion, just voicing my thoughts out loud.

1. Sounds fair.
2. You've done a lot to organize the GSOC and helped contributors a lot. If that option is chosen, I would prefer to give up my part in your favor. Or to spend it on project needs at the choice of the community. Or to split it between remaining mentors.
3. Sounds good. There are a lot of fairly massive projects that deserve to be paid when done. For example, refactoring the disk system or the entire device subsystem, finishing the implementation of the new libc and updating the toolchain, and so on.
4. Can you provide some examples, please?

We can check the last, say, 10 or 100 or 1000 commits and award the most active contributor(s).

Got it, thank you. Also sounds pretty good then.
