[gsoc] Non profit organizations to receive mentor payment amounts

by Anil Saldhana

Hi All, here are the 3 non-profits that Google has proposed to pick the balloon mentor payments. http://sfconservancy.org/ http://spi-inc.org/ http://apache.org/ I would propose to add http://eclipse.org to the list for JBoss community. You have any other proposals? Please do not bash any organization in your replies. I will ask the gsoc office about: a) Any other organizations besides the 3 they have proposed that they can send payment to? b) Are we allowed to split the payments to organizations? Regards, Anil

[gsoc] Writeup on JBoss Community involvement in GSOC

by Anil Saldhana

Hi mentors, to pitch all the great work you have done, GSOC is letting many of the organizations to highlight what they did this summer. We are one of the orgs that have been given the opportunity. Here is what they sent us: ===================== I hope you are having a great summer and your students are doing well in the /Google Summer of Code/. Last year we ran a series of blog posts featuring the orgs participating in GSoC and we'd like to do a similar series this year. A couple of sample posts from last year are below: http://google-opensource.blogspot.com/2011/06/whos-new-in-google-summer-o... <http://google-opensource.blogspot.com/2011/06/whos-new-in-google-summer-o...> http://google-opensource.blogspot.com/2011/07/whos-new-in-google-summer-o... <http://google-opensource.blogspot.com/2011/07/whos-new-in-google-summer-o...> Now that we are nearing the end of /Google Summer of Code/ we thought maybe we would ask that an org admin/mentor for each of the new org write up a little post about the goals of their org and the projects that their students worked on this summer. If you have a special story you'd like to share about your students that would be nice too. Again these don't need to be long just a couple of paragraphs as we will combine 3-4 orgs into each blog post. Thanks. We will post these in the order in which we receive them from the org admins (probably 3-4 orgs posted each week). We would like to start posting these as early as later this week if possible, thanks for your cooperation. ===================== So what are we waiting for? Write some blogposts or send your text here. We can pass them over to gsoc. Regards, Anil

[gsoc] GSOC Mentor Summit in California

by Anil Saldhana

Hi all, it is slated to be on Oct 20-21, 2012 at the Google HQ, Mountain View, California. Before you start packing, here are the challenges: * They are officially allowing just 2 delegates (either mentors or org admins) per organization. * JBoss Community will have to book travel for the delegates. After the GSOC program has ended, JBoss community has to send invoice to GSOC for reimbursement. So as you see, it is not as easy as just choosing who is going. There is a need to look at country of residence of the mentor, deal with visa issues, book travel (get travel budget approved at JBoss community) amidst all the logistical headaches. To facilitate reimbursement, JBoss community is registered in the Google payment system. Here is what you need to tell me (in personal email): a) Why you should be the choice? (Give me some blog posts you have written about your gsoc work). b) Country of residence (where are you currently residing?). c) Any travel issues (visas needed to the US etc). At the end of the day, it is just two slots. Regards, Anil
