Fellow GSoC'ers, The student application period is one of the busiest periods of GSoC. Here are some pointers to make the experience bearable!
Executive summary for the impatient: - Register to melange NOW - Students need to submit formal applications to melange before May 3rd at 1900 UTC - Mentors are kindly asked to make themselves known on melange now First and foremost, now is the time to register to melange[1], the platform Google asks us to use to manage the GSoC program. It's the place where students submit their formal application, and where mentors and students submit their evaluations when they're asked to. [1] http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/homepage/google/gsoc2013 As I said in the previous paragraph, students MUST submit their application on melange. No application on melange means no GSoC project. However, as we did in previous years, we ask that you write your application on the Debian wiki, following the template[2], and linking to the student applications page[3]. For your application on melange, you can just link to the wiki. This helps us keep track of changes on the proposals over time, which is not really possible on melange. [2] http://wiki.debian.org/SummerOfCode2013/StudentApplicationTemplate [3] http://wiki.debian.org/SummerOfCode2013/StudentApplications Finally, we need mentors to register to melange too, link themselves to Debian[4], and apply for mentoring on the relevant projects[5]. That way, you will formally be known as a mentor, and asked to submit evaluations in due time. In your mentor application, please state clearly who you are and what project you went to mentor, melange makes it hard on us admins to know who you are... [4] http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/org/google/gsoc2013/debian then "Start a Connection" or "Apply as a mentor". [5] http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/dashboard/google/gsoc2013 "Proposals submitted to my organizations". We're available on irc or on-list for guidance if there is any issue. Cheers! -- Nicolas Dandrimont, Debian GSoC Org Admin of the day "I'd crawl over an acre of 'Visual This++' and 'Integrated Development That' to get to gcc, Emacs, and gdb. Thank you."
