[GSoC Mentors] GSoC 2022 Org Applications open Feb 7-21

Sat Feb 5 10:17:33 GMT 2022

Hi,
A kind reminder:
TLDR: we need both ~175 hr projects and ~350 hour projects included in the
Ideas List. Please begin adding Ideas along with your own /team contact
information. https://community.kde.org/GSoC/2022/Ideas

If you are willing to mentor, please reply to this mail and subscribe to
KDE-Soc-Mentor ML: https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-soc-mentor.

On my side, I'll help on the administration side, so I won't have time to
help too much to mentor.
We need at least 2 mentors per idea.

Johnny

>> offer to KDE GSoC this year, because we do not want anyone burning out!
>> Much better to team up with another mentor or two, and share the load.
>>
>> Remember, our goal is to recruit and train new KDE developers. We need to
>> get them thinking about writing tests as they code, and documenting as they
>> go. We want them thinking about sending along blog posts weekly, and
>> checking in with the team as much as possible. We want them reviewing
>> *your* code as you review theirs. We want them KDE blue. 😊

>>    2.
>>
>>    Reach out to your community members to ask if they would like to be
>>    mentors for the program. This year with the option of extending projects
>>    for up to 22 weeks we hope some of your community members that weren’t able
>>    to participate before will be able to make the more flexible schedule work
>>    for them.
>>
