Title: Re: [Oscar-devel] Google Summer of Code application

Hey Joao:

 

I would tend to agree with this mentor's line of thought - it's the experience that counts, of course at the end of the day if you worked really hard and completed the project, we wanted you to get the reward that you deserve.

 

I don't think it's easy for us to know what you can accomplish, that's why I emphasized you should put down what you think you're capable of doing in the application.

 

I am glad that you are thinking positively though, this is good! :)

 

Cheers,

 

Bernard

        First, thank you all for your kind suggestions.
        I've heard some mentor on google's summer-discuss list saying (on his
behalf) that since this project seems to be educational, his final
evaluation wouldn't be strict on the sense that the student completed
this or that etc... There seems to be an opinion that the purpose of the
program is getting students together with experienced OSS developers,
and that the students come up with something that is different from junk
:) For example there's a question on the faq stating that the mentor
organization doesn't have to use student's code.
        I think you guys knows google's rules better than me,
and I admit I have much more expertise in the biopackages.. but I like
SGE's concept a lot. So even if by September 1st, 2005 SGE is not 100%,
its up to you to say to google to give my stipend...
I think leaving SGE on my application is better than leaving it off,
don't you?

        Well, thank you for welcoming me... Now I must learn subversion to
mirror here in my notebook...
