Hey guys,<br><br>Google code-in has now finished, we need to think about GSOC.<br><br>I know this is rather early but last year we were a bit caught out with dealing with random people emailing the mailing list. <br><br><b>Who here is interested in being a mentor?</b><br>
<br><b>Does anyone have any ideas for projects?<br></b><br><b>Proposed action plan:</b><div><br></div><div>For when perspective students email us (based on comments from last year):<br> - Instead of responding to GSOC threads on the ML we just forward them to a wiki page with the basic information.<br>
<br> - Any students who want to discuss their proposal before adding to melange can email a tiny mailing list of everyone who's volunteered to be a mentor.. we will place a link to this on our wiki. <br><br> - We ask potential students to showcase their existing open source work (in any project, in any langauge whatever, even just filing in userbase).. if they've done nothing we ignore them.</div>
<div><br>(note to any students reading this.. start hacking now!)<br><br>David </div>
