Please note that GSoC mentors are required get acknowledgement from their PMC's. This is to ensure that mentors are actually active participants of the projects they are mentoring with. This doesn't require a vote or discussion or anything. It just requires an ACK from any one PMC member.
-Rob ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Ulrich Stärk <u...@apache.org> Date: Tue, Apr 9, 2013 at 10:34 AM Subject: Google Summer of Code 2013 Mentor Registration To: p...@apache.org Cc: code-awa...@apache.org Dear PMCs, I'm happy to announce that the ASF has made it onto the list of 177 accepted organizations for Google Summer of Code 2013! [1,2] It is now time for the mentors to sign up, so please pass this email on to your community and podlings. Mentor signup requires two steps: mentor signup in Melange and PMC acknowledgement. If you want to mentor a project in this year's SoC you will have to 1. Be an Apache committer. 2. Register with Melange and set up a profile [3]. 3. Add your username (formerly known as link_id) to [4]. This is NOT your email address but your Melange username. You can find it at the top of any page once you are logged in. 4. Request an acknowledgement from the PMC for which you want to mentor projects. Use the below template and do not forget to copy code-awa...@apache.org. 5. Once a PMC member acknowledges the request to mentor, and only then, go to [2] and click the "Start a connection" button. PMCs, read carefully please. We request that each mentor is acknowledged by a PMC member. This is to ensure the mentor is in good standing with the community. When you receive a request for acknowledgement, please ACK it and cc code-awa...@apache.org Cheers, Uli mentor request email template: ---- to: private@<project>.apache.org cc: code-awa...@apache.org subject: GSoC 2013 mentor request for <mentor name> <project> PMC, please acknowledge my request to become a mentor for Google Summer of Code 2013 projects for Apache <project>.
