Hi Antonio, After subscribing to Apache's mentors email list, you need to receive the acknowledge from at least one Apache ManifoldCF PMC member. So, you would need to write an email similar to this one:
ManifoldCF PMC, Please acknowledge my request to become a mentor for Google Summer of Code 2016 projects for Apache ManifoldCF I would like to receive the mentor invite to adperezmora...@gmail.com I am already signed up on the mentor list. You can find more information on the process here: https://community.apache.org/gsoc.html About the Nuxeo connector as an idea, I would be really interested on this too. My current company is partially based on Nuxeo, so that would be great for me also from a personal point of view. Because of that, I could help by co-mentoring the project. I don't have enough time for mentoring, but I could act as backup mentor for Antonio Cheers, Rafa On Tue, Mar 15, 2016 at 1:37 PM Antonio David Pérez Morales < adperezmora...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi Karl > > Yes, let's wait to see if David would like to implement this new connector > and in that case prepare and submit a proposal. > Where do I have to sign up to be a mentor? > > For the list ok, I will subscribe after signing up as mentor. > > Thanks Karl > > Regards > > 2016-03-15 13:32 GMT+01:00 Karl Wright <daddy...@gmail.com>: > > > Hi Antonio, > > > > I think it is perfectly reasonable to build a Nuxeo connector for a GSoC > > 2016 project.
