Thank you all for your proposals. This is a reminder to all students. |
2 |
|
3 |
There are some of you that have not yet met all our requirements. |
4 |
|
5 |
We need to set a hard deadline of 12:00 noon UTC, Wednesday, April 12, |
6 |
for all Gentoo proposal requirements to be met. We will then be making |
7 |
our final decisions and subsequent submission to Google. No one will |
8 |
know the final results until Google makes their announcement and posts |
9 |
the results of the accepted students. |
10 |
See the GSOC timeline for that information. |
11 |
|

|
13 |
Gentoo specific requirements include: |
14 |
|
15 |
1) Joining the gentoo-soc email list, sending an email introducing |
16 |
yourself and your proposal idea (not the detailed proposal). |
17 |
|
18 |
2) Making yourself available now for questions, etc. in our #gentoo-soc |
19 |
IRC channel. While reviewing your proposals, we may have questions and |
20 |
ask you to clarify or expand on something from your proposal. |
21 |
|
22 |
3) Fixing at least one bug, preferably in a related package with |
23 |
a similar/same VCS. Attaching patches to the bug and/or making a pull |
24 |
request to the appropriate gentoo repo for review/merge. |
25 |
AKA, we want to see some proof that you can work with the code, VCS and |
26 |
our own bugzilla. It may not always be possible to have bugs directly |
27 |
relating to your proposal. In that case please contact us so we may |
28 |
suggest some bugs. |
29 |
|
30 |
4) If any of the potential mentors has asked anything of you to further |
31 |
your proposal, clarify, etc..., please ensure you make every effort to |
32 |
accomplish and provide that. If not by direct email or IRC to that |
33 |
mentor, then at least to this email list so it is view-able by all |
34 |
project mentors & reviewers. |
35 |
|
36 |
Remember, the sooner you meet all these requirements, the better may |
37 |
be your chances of being accepted. Communication between students and |
38 |
mentors is a key factor to a successful GSOC project. So, your |
39 |
communication between mentors and yourself is also part of our decision |
40 |
process. |

Thank you, |
