Fwd: Google Summer of Code 2017: Call for mentors for Pharo Consortium Pharo project

by Serge Stinckwich

Heartiest Congratulations ! Pharo Consortium has been selected as a mentor organisation for Google Summer of Code 2017. Google Summer of Code is a global program focused on introducing students to open source software development. Students work on a 3 month programming project with an open source organisation during their break from university. Read more at https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/ How the program works ? Organizations: Open source projects apply to be mentor organizations. Once accepted, organizations discuss possible ideas with students and then decide on the proposals they wish to mentor for the summer. They provide mentors to help guide each student through the program. Mentors: Existing contributors with the organizations can choose to mentor a student project. Mentors and students work together to determine appropriate milestones and requirements for the summer. Mentor interaction is a vital part of the program. A mentor may propose or endorse a project and each project has to be about Pharo or its ecosystem (e.g., a library). Projects will be mentored by one or more mentors and executed by one student. Students: Students contact the mentor organizations they want to work with and write up a project proposal for the summer. If accepted, students spend a month integrating with their organizations prior to the start of coding. Students then have three months to code, meeting the deadlines agreed upon with their mentors. Student coding period: May 30 - Aug 29 (Entire timeline can be viewed at: https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/how-it-works/#timeline) Student stipend: https://developers.google.com/open-source/gsoc/help/student-stipends We are currently at the phase of identifying mentors and projects. The next phases will be about students selecting projects, and the community selecting the projects with their associated mentors and students which will be sponsored by the GSOC program. How to register ? Simply by replying to this email and joining the Slack channel... to have more discussion about what project the mentor will take up, what she/he wants at the end of the coding period and then we can invite them to the GSoC org dashboard). Hence, we invite regular & enthusiastic Pharo contributors to be a mentor with Pharo Consortium for GSoC 2017: 1. Kindly respond on this thread if you'd like to be a mentor, or wish to propose a project. An existing list of projects is already available here: http://gsoc.pharo.org/ and we already have a handful of projects and mentors chosen. Feel free to collaborate with existing mentors as well. 2. Join dedicated channels, #gsoc-students for general interactions with students & #gsoc-planning channel only for GSOC admins and mentors on Pharo slack. In order to get an invitation for pharoproject.slack.com visit the URL here: http://slackinvites.pharo.org/ 3. Please open relevant issues and make a roadmap of the projects being mentored by you so that students can start contributing to them already. If you want to mentor a project and there is no open-source repository at the moment, please built one ASAP. 4. If you know any students that might be interested to work on Pharo during the summer and be a part of GSoC as well, please ask him/her to start contributing to the Pharo projects, discuss their proposal, follow instructions that shall be posted soon in this mailing thread and submit their application by April 3, 2017. We don't know the number of slots attributed by Google to Pharo org, but the more students proposal we will receive, the more slots will be attributed to us. We remind you about the mentor responsibilities: ... to your Org Admins - Communicate availability and interaction expectations - Inform when mentoring capacity will be reduced, as early as possible (e.g., family, health, vacation) - Inform when there is an issue with a student - Lacking communication, activity, visibility (MIA), or progress - Participant Agreement violations (e.g., plagiarism, harassment, fraud) - Bad fit or stepping down - Formally evaluate student participation. - Communicate with admin and student before failing ... to your Students - Help and/or teach the student - how to be a part of your community - communicate more effectively and in the open - work with your org’s preferred communication channel (IRC, Slack, etc) - use your org’s version control system - ask good questions and get answers to their questions - provide convincing technical argument and constructive discussion - be independently motivated and productive - solve difficult technical problems - Keep track of their progress, keep student informed as to their status - Communicate on a regular basis, once a week or better (for GSoC) - Give constructive feedback, be patient, and be respectful - Respond to questions within 24 hours (occasionally under 36 hours is ok) - Establish realistic work objectives and timeline expectations - Re-evaluate scope with student when significantly ahead of or behind expectations - Work with devs and community to facilitate acceptance of student work Read more about responsibilities here: https://developers.google.com/open-source/gsoc/help/responsibilities Looking forward to a great guided summer by the talented mentors of our organisation. Warm Regards Pharo Organisation Admins (Alexandre Bergel, Jigyasa Grover, Serge Stinckwich & Yuriy Tymchuk) -- Serge Stinckwich UCBN & UMI UMMISCO 209 (IRD/UPMC) Every DSL ends up being Smalltalk http://www.doesnotunderstand.org/
