Hi.
Should we worry that there is no email traffic about
the GSoC proposals?
Did we have any GSoC proposals?
Yes.[1]
No. Those are not proposals. Those are ideas / suggestions. A
proposal
is something that a student formally submits, via Google, for the ASF
to
consideration.
Such proposals ("Google docs") were submitted to this ML.
I made comments.
Unfortunately, there seemed to have been a misunderstanding
about the process.
At some point, I assumed that one official mentor for "Commons"
(as "the" project) was fine; and that would have been Stian
(AFAICT), assuming (and mentioning it in a post IIRC) that the
community members here would help as they usually do (review,
comment, commit, ...).
Were any accepted?
By whom?
ASF and Google.
That wasn't at all clear: In exchanges which we've had here,
the milestones were
1. Submit tasks with label "gsoc2018"
2. Apache was accepted
3. Students provided a plan and timetable
Then ???
I have no idea about the formal process but understood (perhaps
wrongly) that Apache as a whole had been accepted and that it
was up to the "student" to connect with the relevant projects.
That much seemed to have happened a few weeks ago.[2][3]
There is rather more to it than that. I suggest you read up on GSoC
at
the ASF. Start here:
https://community.apache.org/gsoc.html
I recommend you read all the linked pages but especially this one:
https://community.apache.org/guide-to-being-a-mentor.html
Page is badly out-of-date.
I recall one mentor
request from Commons and I don't see that mentor listed as
requesting to
mentor a proposal in the (internal only) master spreadsheet.
Where is that spreadsheet?
Access details are on the private ment...@community.apache.org list
to
which all prospective ASF GSoC mentors are required to subscribe. The
link was sent out several times including 9th April.
I guess it's too late now:
https://community.apache.org/gsoc.html
Too bad that no coordination could exist between those who were
willing to give time to the program and those who were aware of
the administrative side of it.
We receive tons of mostly useless email from JIRA. One could have
been a reminder that a submitter of "gsoc2018"-labelled tasks *must*
register as an official mentor... :-/
Apologies to Gimhana and Greg for the misunderstanding! :-(
Regards,
Gilles
