GSoC Students and Mentors, The Midtem evaluation period has begun, and will close in less than a week! The mentors have been checking in with eachother and it has come to our collective attention that some of you are behind on your planned work for the first half of the program. If you haven't been checking in with your mentor, participating in IRC discussions on a daily basis, and making obvious progress on your goals and projects that is publicly visible in commit logs, and/or public mailing lists, repositories, and issue trackers, we can draw no other conclusion than you are not committing the requisite amount of time to the program, resulting in a failing evaluation. As an organizational admin, I know that each of you were selected above other applicants for these highly competitive slots. The Fedora Project cannot afford to give you a free pass for midterms, as it could jeopardize the number of slots we will be awarded in the future if we do not hold high standards, and avoid wasting the precious resources that were so generously provided by our sponsoring organization. Each of you should absolutely check in with your mentors in the next 24 hours and make sure you know where you stand. The mentors will be collectively evaluating each of you BY THE END OF THIS WEEK, so do not delay. For those of you who have been steadily making progress on your plan of work, and participating actively on a daily basis, kudos to you! Keep up the good work! If you know of or see other GSoC students that need help, be there for eachother, build eachother up, and help keep everyone productive and engaged. We're all in this together. Good Luck, and Happy Hacking, --RemyD. -- Remy DeCausemaker Fedora Community Lead & Council <decause@xxxxxxxxxx> https://whatcanidoforfedora.org _______________________________________________ summer-coding mailing list summer-coding@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/summer-coding@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
