This year, let’s try something different! I posted a rough draft of our |
| 2 |
organization application on the Gentoo wiki [1], in hopes that we can all |
| 3 |
work together to improve it over the next week. Applications are due |
| 4 |
starting March 9, and earlier is better. Here’s a list of questions that |
| 5 |
you can help answer: |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
* Why is your group applying to participate? What do you hope to |
| 8 |
gain by participating? |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
* What criteria do you use to select the members of your group? |
| 11 |
Please be as specific as possible. |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
* Has your group participated previously? If so, please summarize |
| 14 |
your involvement and any past successes and failures. |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
* What questions/requests do we want in our application template for |
| 17 |
students, in addition to the GSoC application? |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
* What is your plan for dealing with disappearing students? |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
* What is your plan for dealing with disappearing mentors? |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
* What steps will you take to encourage contributors to interact |
| 24 |
with your community before, during, and after the program? |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
* What will you do to ensure that your accepted contributors stick |
| 27 |
with the project after the program concludes? |
| 28 |
