Hey, so we are approaching opening date for submitting orgnaization applications [1]. In order to have perfect application we need to show Google a list of ideas that students can work on (like they couldn't google it up, right? ;-)). You can find the list here [2]. Let me ask you kindly to go through it and: a) add whatever idea you feel is appropriate, b) if you have an idea but don't feel like mentoring, leave the 'Mentor' field empty and I will find somebody. There is still plenty of time left (I'll probably fill out the application form at the end of the month), but please don't leave it until the last hour. There were some changes to the program discussed on the Mentor Summit, but I don't see anything announced yet, so stay tuned. As for our organization, historically we had 1:N mapping of mentors and students (one mentor could have had one or more students). But last year we tried out 2:1 mapping and I found it better so probably we will stick to co-mentoring this year too (as everything, it's recommended not required).
I totally vote for 2:1, but keep in mind that for this to work perfectly we need to *start* with it, not start 1:1 and then add the second one later. Ideally the second mentor should be there since the start of the interview, IMHO.
Happy new year! Michal 1: https://developers.google.com/open-source/gsoc/timeline 2: http://wiki.libvirt.org/page/Google_Summer_of_Code_2017 -- libvir-list mailing list libvir-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvir-list
