[hibernate-dev] Everyone: Need volunteers for mentoring GSOC

[Gunnar Morling]

Hi,

I'll write up the proposal for the batch job for mass indexing and
submit it to https://developer.jboss.org/wiki/JBossCommunityGoogleSummerOfCode2016Ideas.

> It would need to be someone who's regularly contributing already...

Personally I don't think that's needed and also it's not in the spirit of GSoC.

The program is meant to bring students *into* OSS development. Of
course having experience in that area doesn't harm, but it's no
requirement. Much more important is the general attitude (willingness
to learn etc.) as well as general programming knowledge.

Student's applications start on March 14th, so whatever we feel like
going for, should be in that proposal list by then.
