Hi mentors,
it is always very encouraging to see the interest from students
before the official student application period starts.
Some suggestions from my side to get the students started on your
projects so that the best student gets to work on your project. There
will be limited slots (opening 9 April 2014). So we will have to pick
and choose the best students.
* We want dedicated students who are serious about finishing their GSOC
task. Mentors are here to help and guide as necessary. But if the
students are not dedicated, then it will show late in the process. :)
* Students should be able to use the "Getting Started" or
"Installation"
guides to get your projects up and running. Mentors should try to
validate this by asking for a report from students on the steps they
followed to get your project running. Maybe they can write blog posts
on how they used your projects.
Any other suggestions?
Regards,
Anil
