GSoC Mentoring Sign-ups
by Sean P. DeNigris April 22, 2013

April 22, 2013

I saw that there were quite a few unfilled positions and others were signed up to mentor multiple projects, so I added myself to a handful of projects. I'm assuming it will probably not work to mentor all of them if they end up going forward. How is this handled? b.t.w. there are still spots open. Who's going to step up and help create the future of our community?! ----- Cheers, Sean -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/GSoC-Mentoring-Sign-ups-tp4683016.html Sent from the ESUG mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

[GSoC] Call for students
by Janko Mivšek April 11, 2013

April 11, 2013

Dear Students, Now it is your turn! You will have to register in our website first [1], put there some information, show interest for the projects and contact the project mentors. After the registration step you will get all the mentors information in order to contact them. By pressing the button on the project, you will show your interest. This is not something formal yet. Of course you can propose your own project too. In this case write a proposal in a format other projects have and send it to admins (see the email on the bottom). Our mentors will vote for the most interesting projects and in the middle of the voting Google will tell us, how many projects will actually be funded. Voting will happen in May, with final results expected at the end of May. At that time you will finally know if you are accepted or not. Of course, there can be many students interested per project. This means that interest for this project is high, but on the other side a chance that you will be chosen is lower. It is up to you to convince a mentor that you are the best! Note also that the Ideas page is deprecated. On ideas page just the project ideas were collected. Now, we are preparing the real projects. So, please from now on always refer to this link for the projects: http://gsoc2013.esug.org/projects So, your initial steps are: 1. Register on our special Smalltalk GSoC website (with your Google account!): http://gsoc2013.esug.org/admin?view=loginGoogle 2. Edit your profile to get some more contact information for mentors to let you know, 3. Fulfill your brief Biography page (see Biography tab on profile), 4. Go to Projects page, choose up to three projects and click there 'I'm interested' button, 5. Contact and discuss with project mentors about your interest. Subscribe also to a special mailing list [2] where we will help you with further steps. Deadline: as soon as possible, because the deadline to register on official GSoC website [3] is 3.May, which is, well, soon! But about that later... Finally, we will really appreciate if you can help us to distribute this call for students. One of our goals is to increase the Smalltalk community. Those who have access to universities can distribute this among the students. Distribute also our poster [4] in many languages, English one attached. [1] http://gsoc2013.esug.org [2] Students mailing list: http://groups.google.com/group/smalltalk-gsoc-students [3] Official GSoC website http://www.google-melange.com [4] Poster in PDF and image format, in many languages http://gsoc2013.esug.org/poster Good luck!
