I would like to see a GSoC student working on Gelly. The issue with GSoC is that it requires you to be available constantly ;) In my opinion its important to spend a few hours each week (2-5) to review and discuss the work. Its important to do that frequently. otherwise the student is idling.
You find the timeline here: http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/events/google/gsoc2015 .. so you can check how it fits your schedule. I think there are two big parts which involve a lot of work: a) the "application phase", when many students are hitting the mailing lists. Its a lot of work for the community, not so much for the mentors. (We have to answer questions, review changes, .. ) b) The work-phase in GSoC requires time from the mentor. As I said, for being a good mentor, you'll have to spend 2-5 hrs a week. There is a really good guide on mentoring students for GSoC here: http://flossmanuals.net/GSoCMentoring/ On Wed, Feb 11, 2015 at 9:46 PM, Vasiliki Kalavri <vasilikikala...@gmail.com > wrote: > Hi, > > I can certainly see some ideas we have for Gelly making nice GSoC projects, > but I'm not sure I will have enough time to devote as a mentor. > > @Fabian and others who were mentors last year: can you share a bit about > your experience and specifically about your workload during GSoC?
