The next evaluations will begin soon. I have urged all mentors to check the
status report before then. I see no reason to give a passing evaluation to
a student who has no Status Report. Please get that done within the next
few days.

Keep in mind that your status report is the way you report your final
results to Google. They do not come check your code in git, etc. They look
at your Status Report, 100%.

After the end of the 2020 GSoC, that page is yours to use with your
university, scholarship applications and possibly job applications. Please
make it a page of which you are proud.
