Thank you, Maxim --congratulations on securing the ASF's role as a mentoring 
organization for another year!

Unfortunately, I am unable to help with ASF-wide announcements, as I am no 
longer VP Marketing & Publicity as of 2021.

As such, I'm copying VP M&P Brian Proffitt and the team here for their follow

2. Request an *acknowledgement* from the PMC for which you want to mentor
projects. Use the *below template* and *do not forget to copy

Re: Regarding contributing to Apache Software Foundation in Google Summer of Code

[Maxim Solodovnik]

Hello Manav P Gondalia,

mentors@ is the list for mentors only, not for GSoC contributors :)
I can recommend you to check this page: https://community.apache.org/gsoc.html

Then find the project you would like to participate in here:
https://projects.apache.org/projects.html?
language#Java

Additionally you can search for the "gsoc2023" label in JIRA [1] :)

Please send any additional questions to the dev@community mailing-list
or better to the dev@ list of the particular Apache project you would
like to contribute :)

What about projects not using Jira (i.e. Github)? Do we label them there too 
the same way? Someone watches all the Github projects too?

Will do. What’s the deadline for adding Issues in our Github with suggestions

Re: Google Summer of Code 2021 Mentor Registration GSOC

[Juan Pan]

Hi Maxim,


Thanks for your pointer.


I am curious if I am a PMC of the project which I want to mentor for, it is 
still required to request ACK from the PMC of the corresponding community? I 
mean, I request ACK from myself or other PMCs. A little odd...


If I miss something, please correct me. 
Thanks for your help!


Cheers,
Trista

Re: Google Summer of Code 2021 Mentor Registration GSOC

[Xiangdong Huang]

Hi Maxim,

Thanks for the detailed instruction.

Just one question:

>  mentor signup in Google's system [3]

How to signup as a mentor? When I login with my google account, it says, "
You don't have a GSoC account.".

I scanned the website and can not find the entrance of registration to be a
GSoC mentor.

What should I do?

It is now time for mentors to sign up, so please pass this email on to
your community

Mentor signup requires two steps: mentor signup in Google's system [3]

If you want to mentor a project in this year's SoC you will have to

1. Be an Apache committer. (not a MUST)
2. Request an acknowledgement from the PMC for which you want to mentor
projects. Use the below template and *do not forget to copy
ment...@community.apache.org*. We will use the email address you
indicate to send the invite to be a mentor for Apache.

PMCs, read carefully please.

We request that each mentor is acknowledged by a PMC member. This is to ensure
the mentor is in good standing with the community. When you receive a
request for
acknowledgement, please ACK it and cc ment...@community.apache.org

Lastly, it is not yet too late to record your ideas in Jira (see my
previous emails for details).
Students will now begin to explore ideas so if you haven’t already

Fwd: GSoC Announcement: Announcing Google Summer of Code 2021

We are pleased to announce Google Summer of Code 2021 <http://g.co/gsoc>,
the 17th consecutive year of the program!

The program announcement
<https://opensource.googleblog.com/2020/10/google-summer-of-code-2021-is-bringing.html>
, timeline <https://developers.google.com/open-source/gsoc/timeline>,
marketing materials
<https://developers.google.com/open-source/gsoc/resources/marketing> (slide
deck, flyers), FAQs
<https://developers.google.com/open-source/gsoc/faq>, student
guide <https://developers.google.com/open-source/gsoc/resources/guide> and
short videos <https://developers.google.com/open-source/gsoc/videos> about
the program and tips for mentors and students are all available.

For 2021 we are excited to offer smaller sized projects and thus a lower
time commitment for those interested in participating in the program. In
2021 all student projects will be 175 hour projects (instead of the
previous 350 hr projects) and the coding period will be 10 weeks. There are
many folks who have been unable to commit to a 350 hr project but are
interested in learning more about open source and being a part of these
amazing open source communities so we hope this will allow those folks to
apply for the program.

We are also changing the eligibility for students - in 2021 students need
to be enrolled in (or accepted into) a post-secondary academic program
(including university, community college, PhD program, licensed coding
camp, etc.) as of May 17, 2021 or if they graduated from a post-secondary
academic program between December 1, 2020 and May 17, 2021 they are
eligible to apply.

Student applications open March 29, 2021. We will announce the open source
organizations that will be mentoring orgs for 2021 on March 8, 2021, at
that point interested students should be reaching out to orgs that interest
them and talking through the project ideas.

Thinking about being a mentor for GSoC 2021? Reach out to the organization
you'd like to work with over the next couple of months and let them know,
I'm sure they'd be thrilled to have you as a mentor!

We are looking forward to another exciting year of GSoC!

For questions about the programs please email us at gsoc-supp...@google.com

Best,

Stephanie

Hello PMCs (incubator Mentors, please forward this email to your podlings),

Google Summer of Code [1] is a program sponsored by Google allowing
students to spend their summer
working on open source software. Students will receive stipends for
developing open source software
full-time for three months. Projects will provide mentoring and
project ideas, and in return have
the chance to get new code developed and - most importantly - to
identify and bring in new committers.

The ASF will apply as a participating organization meaning individual
projects don't have to apply separately.

If you want to participate with your project we ask you to do the
following things by no later than
2019-01-31 19:00 UTC (applications from organizations close a week later)

1. understand what it means to be a mentor [2].

2. record your project ideas.

Just create issues in JIRA, label them with gsoc2019, and they will
show up at [3]. Please be as
specific as possible when describing your idea. Include the
programming language, the tools and
skills required, but try not to scare potential students away. They
are supposed to learn what's
required before the program starts.

Use labels, e.g. for the programming language (java, c, c++, erlang,
python, brainfuck, ...) or
technology area (cloud, xml, web, foo, bar, ...).

Please use the COMDEV JIRA project for recording your ideas if your
project doesn't use JIRA (e.g.
httpd, ooo). Contact dev@community.apache.org if you need assistance.

[4] contains some additional information (will be updated for 2019
shortly).

3. subscribe to ment...@community.apache.org; restricted to potential
mentors, meant to be used as a
private list - general discussions on the public
dev@community.apache.org list as much as possible
please). Use a recognized address when subscribing (@apache.org or one
of your alias addresses on
record).

Note that the ASF isn't accepted as a participating organization yet,
nevertheless you *have to*
start recording your ideas now or we might not get accepted.

Over the years we were able to complete hundreds of projects
successfully. Some of our prior
students are active contributors now! Let's make this year a success again!

P.S.: this email is free to be shared publicly if you want to.

Podlings, please take a look at this and ask me questions.  This can be
a great way of getting some fresh eyes on a project.

Hello PMCs (incubator Mentors, please forward this email to your podlings),

Google Summer of Code [1] is a program sponsored by Google allowing
students to spend their summer
working on open source software. Students will receive stipends for
developing open source software
full-time for three months. Projects will provide mentoring and
project ideas, and in return have
the chance to get new code developed and - most importantly - to
identify and bring in new committers.

The ASF will apply as a participating organization meaning individual
projects don't have to apply separately.

If you want to participate with your project we ask you to do the
following things by no later than
2019-01-31 19:00 UTC (applications from organizations close a week later)

1. understand what it means to be a mentor [2].

2. record your project ideas.

Just create issues in JIRA, label them with gsoc2019, and they will
show up at [3]. Please be as
specific as possible when describing your idea. Include the
programming language, the tools and
skills required, but try not to scare potential students away. They
are supposed to learn what's
required before the program starts.

Use labels, e.g. for the programming language (java, c, c++, erlang,
python, brainfuck, ...) or
technology area (cloud, xml, web, foo, bar, ...).

Please use the COMDEV JIRA project for recording your ideas if your
project doesn't use JIRA (e.g.

Application for Google Summer of Code 2019

[karan vishwakarma]

Hello Mentors, My name is Karan Vishwakarma and I am pursuing Bachelors in Information Technology at Institute of Engineering and Technology, DAVV Indore. As a part of the university curriculum, I have learned fundamental Information Technology courses like Data Structure, Algorithms, Operating systems and Computer Networks. These courses have enhanced my programming skills and motivated me to design and develop an Android application named ‘KeyNote’ (available on Google Play Store) that helps the users to store information and their personal data in the form of notes. The technologies which I used to build the notes application are Java, XML, Android Studios and storage databases like SQLite and SharedPreferences for fast data loading. Additionally, I integrated Google AdMob to provide a platform to serve Ads and increase user engagement. With the knowledge of web development technologies, I designed my portfolio website using tools like HTML, CSS, HTML5, CSS3, _javascript_, XAMPP, Google Web Toolkit and PHP and hosted the website on web host by managing files through FileZilla. To support code modularity and easy maintenance, I designed the website with Leaner Style Sheets (LESS) to extend the capabilities of CSS. To optimize the applications with advanced learning algorithms, I enrolled in courses like ‘Divide and Conquer, Sorting and Searching, and Randomized algorithm’ and ‘Machine Learning’ offered by Stanford University where I achieved a grade of 93.2% among all students.	I look forward to a challenging career which may even be arduous and demanding at times but I am confident that with my sincerity and dedication, I will be able to make a meaningful contribution to the open source projects for Google Summer of Code 2019 with the best of my knowledge and skills. Please find my resume attached and I look forward to talking to you soon.

Hi,

it might be a private mailing list, if so, the archive is only visible

Dear PMCs,

I'm happy to announce that the ASF has made it onto the list of accepted 
organizations for
Google Summer of Code 2018! [1,2]

It is now time for mentors to sign up, so please pass this email on to your 
community and
podlings. If you aren’t already subscribed to ment...@community.apache.org you 
should do so now else
you might miss important information.

Mentor signup requires two steps: mentor signup in Google's system [3] and PMC 
acknowledgement.

If you want to mentor a project in this year's SoC you will have to

1. Be an Apache committer.
2. Request an acknowledgement from the PMC for which you want to mentor 
projects. Use the below
template and *do not forget to copy ment...@community.apache.org*. We will use 
the email adress you
indicate to send the invite to be a mentor for Apache.

PMCs, read carefully please.

We request that each mentor is acknowledged by a PMC member. This is to ensure 
the mentor is in good
standing with the community. When you receive a request for acknowledgement, 
please ACK it and cc
ment...@community.apache.org

Lastly, it is not yet too late to record your ideas in Jira (see my previous 
emails for details).
Students will now begin to explore ideas so if you haven’t already done so, 
record your ideas
immediately!

Cheers,

Uli

Dear PMCs,

I'm happy to announce that the ASF has made it onto the list of accepted 
organizations for
Google Summer of Code 2018! [1,2]

It is now time for mentors to sign up, so please pass this email on to your 
community and
podlings. If you aren’t already subscribed to ment...@community.apache.org you 
should do so now else
you might miss important information.

Mentor signup requires two steps: mentor signup in Google's system [3] and PMC 
acknowledgement.

If you want to mentor a project in this year's SoC you will have to

1. Be an Apache committer.
2. Request an acknowledgement from the PMC for which you want to mentor 
projects. Use the below
template and *do not forget to copy ment...@community.apache.org*. We will use 
the email adress you
indicate to send the invite to be a mentor for Apache.

PMCs, read carefully please.

We request that each mentor is acknowledged by a PMC member. This is to ensure 
the mentor is in good
standing with the community. When you receive a request for acknowledgement, 
please ACK it and cc
ment...@community.apache.org

Lastly, it is not yet too late to record your ideas in Jira (see my previous 
emails for details).
Students will now begin to explore ideas so if you haven’t already done so, 
record your ideas
immediately!

Cheers,

Uli

problem related Google summer of code

[Honey Mishra]

Hi,
I am a newcomer to opensource community and i am aiming for GsoC 2018 so i
think that i have to contribute to projects of apache or i have to do
something else.

Re: Google Summer of Code

[Ulrich Stärk]

Ciao Stefan,

a good starting place can be our ideas list for this year's GSoC:
s.apache.org/gsoc2017ideas

You can also browse our full list of project communities at
http://apache.org/index.html#projects-list and approach the community that
you find most interesting and discuss a potential GSoC project with them.

Cheers,

Uli

Google Summer of Code

[Loata, Stefan]

Hello,

my name is Stefan Loata. I was born and grown in Italy (Rome) and now I am 
living in the Netherlands
(Studying in a Liberal Arts and Sciences College of the Utrecht University).


I am in my Second Semester and I am planning to Major in Computer Science, 
Mathematics and Physics, trying possibly to get a Minor in Art History. I am 
working with Java, MySQL (and NoSQL Cassandra), Mathematica (Wolfram) and 
Latex. On my own, I got a basic understanding of Python, Ruby and CSS/HTML.


This would be the first time I work on a so large scale project but I am really 
willing to learn and I will have a lot of time to dedicate to it during the 
summer. I have just started looking at it, cause I had to prepare various 
Midterms.

I was wondering if you could suggest me on which of the project Ideas I could 
start looking and try to apply, considering my preparation.

Kind regards,
Stefan Loata

Google Summer of Code 2017 Mentor Registration

[Ulrich Stärk]

Dear PMCs,

I'm happy to announce that the ASF has made it onto the list of accepted 
organizations for
Google Summer of Code 2017! [1,2]

It is now time for mentors to sign up, so please pass this email on to your 
community and
podlings. If you aren’t already subscribed to ment...@community.apache.org you 
should do so now else
you might miss important information.

Mentor signup requires two steps: mentor signup in Google's system [3] and PMC 
acknowledgement.

If you want to mentor a project in this year's SoC you will have to

1. Be an Apache committer.
2. Request an acknowledgement from the PMC for which you want to mentor 
projects. Use the below
template and *do not forget to copy ment...@community.apache.org*. We will use 
the email adress you
indicate to send the invite to be a mentor for Apache.

PMCs, read carefully please.

We request that each mentor is acknowledged by a PMC member. This is to ensure 
the mentor is in good
standing with the community. When you receive a request for acknowledgement, 
please ACK it and cc
ment...@community.apache.org

Lastly, it is not yet too late to record your ideas in Jira (see my previous 
emails for details).
Students will now begin to explore ideas so if you haven’t already done so, 
record your ideas
immediately!

Cheers,

Uli

Google Summer of Code in Apache Airflow

[Jakub Powierza]

Hi all,
I am 3rd year bachelor student from Gdańsk, Poland and I would like to 
participate in Google Summer of Code. That would be the first time ever for me 
to take a part in this program :)

I am currently working at Intel Technology Poland as Graphics Software Engineer 
Intern. I have worked here for about 1.5 year. My primary languages that I’m 
using (as a day to day coder) are Python and JavaScript. I’ve been using 
several frameworks and technologies such as Flask, SQLAlchemy, RabbitMQ, Redis, 
AngularJS and many more. Recently, I have been using Apache Airflow as a 
primary framework and I find it very useful and promising for the future :)

Every day is another adventure, so I’m currently focusing on many other 
technologies that can broaden my horizons on IT. That’s why I’m taking a part 
in one of the biggest competitions on Kaggle’s platform - Data Science Bowl 
2017. I was asked by my professor to join the team of other passionate people 
and together with VoiceLab (local company specialised in machine learning) try 
to improve lung cancer detection. That’s my first touch with machine learning 
and especially neural networks in Keras/TensorFlow. It changed my perspectives 
for the directions in which computer science heads towards :)

Each new technology/project/task gives me new knowledge and skills that (I 
hope) will make me a better developer in the future!

I have seen that you have proposed a few projects ideas for this year. But I 
have got a question to you. Is there a way to join developers of Apache Airflow 
and help them with this great framework? I’ve checked its Jira board and there 
are many ideas for features/improvements that can be a great GSoC topic :)

I hope to hear from you soon!

Thanks,
Jakub Powierza

Re: "alternative" to google summer of code.

[jan i]

Hi

It looks as if you are trying to sign up as mentor and not as student. Your
university must participate in the program for you to sign in as student.

"alternative" to google summer of code.

[jan i]

Hi.

I created "Apache Software Foundation" as organization a while ago in
http://vps2.semesterofcode.com

This is a setup similar to GSoC except the students earn merit and do not
get paid. Projects normally run with the academic year, and I expect a new
round starting in August.

Should any project be interested in submitting proposals, then I am happy
to add the login to our
organizational account.

I am not comDev or a lot of other things, so if somebody feel the
organizational account should be moved to e.g. the comDev PMC, then just
let me know.

Ps. one of my suggested projects is now "owned" by a student.

Sorry. Monday was birthday :-P ... but my apologies, I thought no response
was an implicit ACK. I read it on Sunday and it looked great.

So, to be explicit: I re-read, and I'm good with those quotes! Thank you,
Sally!

Thanks,

Hi Ross --a quick follow-up on this.
As you may have been following our emails, we're aiming to issue the ASF press 
release tomorrow. How would you like to go about integrating the TEALs angle? 
Should this be something we work around for ApacheCon? Or did you have 
something else in mind?
I'm happy to take the conversation off-list whilst we sort out the details.
Thanks again,Sally

 Sally we could weave this into the diversity angle, as a reminder I intend to 
use the state of the feather to acknowledge that we have mostly failed to move 
the needle on diversity in our community, that very little works (GSoC is a 
good example of something that does work), accept we don’t have significant 
cash resources to make a big difference and therefore we have invited TEALs to 
present, organize a BOF and have a table in the expo area. TEALs help get 
people like our vast army of volunteers into high schools to help improve CS 
education. My hope is that by supporting activities like this we can have a 
small impact on the quality and breadth of CS education for those coming to us 
as contributors in later years.    What do you think? If this works for you I 
could link you to the TEALs people to help with content for a blog.    Oh, and 
I will be at ApacheCon.    Microsoft Open Technologies, Inc. A subsidiary of

Fantastic --thanks, Uli!

Now we wait for Greg. I'll be issuing this announcement early tomorrow morning 
ET (UTC -5). I presume that's OK with you, yes?

Also, does ComDev have a Twitter handle?

DRAFT :: NOT FOR DISSEMINATION

The Apache Software Foundation Accepted as a Google Summer of Code 2015 
Mentoring Organization

Hundreds of students mentored in "The Apache Way" of community-driven 
development since the program's inception in 2005.

Forest Hill, MD –17 March 2015– The Apache Software Foundation (ASF), the 
all-volunteer developers, stewards, and incubators of more than 350 Open Source 
projects and initiatives, announced today that it has been accepted as a Google 
Summer of Code (GSoC) mentoring organization for the 11th consecutive year.

The Google Summer of Code program offers student developers stipends to write 
code for various Open Source projects over a three month period. This year, 
students will be paired with mentors from 137 Open Source, free software, and 
technology-related groups that include CERN, GNU Project, KDE, MIT Media Lab, 
WikiMedia Foundation, and many more.

The ASF was amongst the initial 39 organizations selected to participate in the 
very first GSoC in 2005, and has participated every year since. At the ASF, the 
GSoC program is overseen by the Apache Community Development project, which 
comprises volunteers who help guide newcomers to The Apache Software 
Foundation, provide insight and advice on The Apache Way of meritocratic 
development, including how to contribute to Apache projects and to the Open 
Source community at-large.

"Over the summer, Apache Committers will mentor students that are sponsored by 
Google and will be working on many of our projects," said Ulrich Stärk, Vice 
President of Community Development at the ASF. "The program helps us to not 
only get some great code written, but also to introduce students into Open 
Source development and hopefully recruit some new long-term Committers."

Students are encouraged to discuss ideas with mentoring organizations and 
finalize proposals for projects of interest by the 27 March deadline. ASF 
mentors have proposed 129 ideas for Apache projects in Big Data, Cloud, 
Enterprise Integration, Enterprise Search, Project Management, Semantic Web & 
Linked Data, along with other categories. Students may choose from the Apache 
"Ideas Page" at http://s.apache.org/gsoc2015ideas or suggest their own project 
for approval. Coding will begin 25 May and end 21 August.

"GSoC gives students the chance to work on industry-leading Open Source 
projects, collaborate with diverse communities, and gain real world experience 
related to their academic pursuits," added Stärk. "We are proud to have 
mentored so many talented students over the years, and furthered our mission of 
providing software products for the public good. It's a rewarding experience 
both for the students and the Apache community at-large."

Since the program's inception, GSoC has brought together over 8,500 successful 
student participants from over countries and over 8,000 mentors from 109 
countries worldwide to produce over 55 million lines of code.

"Being accepted once again as a Google Summer of Code mentoring organization 
reinforces The Apache Software Foundation's leadership in community-driven 
development," said ASF Vice Chairman Greg Stein, who, in 2005 co-created the 
GSoC program while working at Google. "Hundreds of students have been mentored 
in 'The Apache Way' --many have continued on to become long-term code 
committers on a variety of Apache projects, with some active program 
participants elected as ASF Members."

Information on the ASF's participation in Google Summer of Code is available at 
http://community.apache.org/gsoc.html

I'd make it more clear that March 27 is the student application *deadline*. To 
me "begin drafting"
sounds like they could start only then (but then I'm not a native speaker so it 
could totally be OK
to write it like that).

That sounds a bit as if students have already submitted ideas for projects, 
which is not the case.
We (our mentors) have created a list of project ideas (the official URL is
http://s.apache.org/gsoc2015ideas) from which students may choose (or better 
yet, come up with
something on their own). Currently that list has 129 entries.

I'd make it more clear that March 27 is the student application *deadline*. To 
me "begin drafting"
sounds like they could start only then (but then I'm not a native speaker so it 
could totally be OK
to write it like that).

That sounds a bit as if students have already submitted ideas for projects, 
which is not the case.
We (our mentors) have created a list of project ideas (the official URL is
http://s.apache.org/gsoc2015ideas) from which students may choose (or better 
yet, come up with
something on their own). Currently that list has 129 entries.

Re: ASF accepted as a mentoring organization for Google Summer of Code 2015

[Sally Khudairi]

Hi everyone --as promised, below is the draft announcement.

Please review and forward any additions/corrections no later than 5PM ET 
tomorrow (Monday) in order for us to announce on Tuesday. Should we be able to 
finalize before then (by 9PM ET TODAY), we can go live Monday morning if you'd 
like.
Also, if someone can please update the ASF boilerplate at 
http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/org2/google/gsoc2015/apache to the one at 
the bottom of the draft announcement (below), that would be great.

Thanks so much,

DRAFT :: NOT FOR DISSEMINATION

The Apache Software Foundation Accepted as a Google Summer of Code 2015 
Mentoring Organization


Hundreds of students mentored in "The Apache Way" of community-driven 
development since the program's inception in 2005.

Forest Hill, MD –17 March 2015– The Apache Software Foundation (ASF), the 
all-volunteer developers, stewards, and incubators of more than 350 Open Source 
projects and initiatives, announced today that it has been accepted as a Google 
Summer of Code (GSoC) mentoring organization for the 11th consecutive year.

The Google Summer of Code program offers student developers stipends to write 
code for various Open Source projects over a three month period. This year, 
students will be paired with mentors from 137 Open Source, free software, and 
technology-related groups that include CERN, GNU Project, KDE, MIT Media Lab, 
WikiMedia Foundation, and many more.

The ASF was amongst the initial 39 organizations selected to participate in the 
very first GSoC in 2005, and has participated every year since. At the ASF, the 
GSoC program is overseen by the Apache Community Development project, which 
comprises volunteers who help guide newcomers to The Apache Software 
Foundation, provide insight and advice on The Apache Way of meritocratic 
development, including how to contribute to Apache projects and to the Open 
Source community at-large.

"Over the summer, Apache Committers will mentor students that are sponsored by 
Google and will be working on many of our projects," said Ulrich Stärk, Vice 
President of Community Development at the ASF. "The program helps us to not 
only get some great code written, but also to introduce students into Open 
Source development and hopefully recruit some new long-term Committers."

Now through 27 March, students are encouraged to discuss ideas with mentoring 
organizations and begin drafting proposals for those projects of interest. 
Coding will begin 25 May and end 21 August. Thus far, 33 ideas have been 
proposed for Apache projects in Big Data, Cloud, Enterprise Integration, 
Enterprise Search, Project Management, Semantic Web & Linked Data, along with 
other categories. The complete Apache "Ideas Page" is at http://s.apache.org/cDg

"GSoC gives students the chance to work on industry-leading Open Source 
projects, collaborate with diverse communities, and gain real world experience 
related to their academic pursuits," added Stärk. "We are proud to have 
mentored so many talented students over the years, and furthered our mission of 
providing software products for the public good. It's a rewarding experience 
both for the students and the Apache community at-large."

Since the program's inception, GSoC has brought together over 8,500 successful 
student participants from over countries and over 8,000 mentors from 109 
countries worldwide to produce over 55 million lines of code.

"Being accepted once again as a Google Summer of Code mentoring organization 
reinforces The Apache Software Foundation's leadership in community-driven 
development," said ASF Vice Chairman Greg Stein, who, in 2005 co-created the 
GSoC program while working at Google. "Hundreds of students have been mentored 
in 'The Apache Way' --many have continued on to become long-term code 
committers on a variety of Apache projects, with some active program 
participants elected as ASF Members."

Information on the ASF's participation in Google Summer of Code is available at 
http://community.apache.org/gsoc.html

About The Apache Software Foundation (ASF) 
Established in 1999, the all-volunteer Foundation oversees more than 350 
leading Open Source projects, including Apache HTTP Server --the world's most 
popular Web server software. Through the ASF's meritocratic process known as 
"The Apache Way," more than 500 individual Members and 4,500 Committers 
successfully collaborate to develop freely available enterprise-grade software, 
benefiting millions of users worldwide: thousands of software solutions are 
distributed under the Apache License; and the community actively participates 
in ASF mailing lists, mentoring initiatives, and ApacheCon, the Foundation's 
official user conference, trainings, and expo. The ASF is a US 501(c)(3) 
charitable organization, funded by indiv

[Sally Khudairi]

Thanks, Greg!
That works --better to be a bit wordy and clear vs. brief and vague 
We can always write "QUOTE," said Greg Stein, ASF Vice Chairman (and co-creator 
of the GSoC program, while working at Google in 2005).

Now for the quote itself... I'll put that in the draft that I'll be sending 
over later.
Cheers & chat soon,Sally

Sure, that sounds great! … are you looking for something like "co-creator of 
the GSoC program, while working at Google in 2005" ??  That's a bit of a 
mouthful, but is that the direction you're thinking?
And please go ahead an draft up a quote. I'm not quite sure the angle you're

If you don't want to be quoted, that's OK; I can use Ross as backup.

The very first year was 2005. Thus, 2015 would be the 11th GSoC.

As one of the two people to launch/create GSoC, you can call me authoritative

The very first year was 2005. Thus, 2015 would be the 11th GSoC.

As one of the two people to launch/create GSoC, you can call me authoritative 
on the dates :-P

Got it. Just thought that since we have an opportunity to socialize, that we 
could do something.

Thanks for following up on this, Uli! I'll get the draft to you this weekend.

Chat soon,
Sally

Hi Sally,

probably not. Accepted student projects will only be announced on April 27, 
long after ApacheCon is
over.

Re: ASF accepted as a mentoring organization for Google Summer of Code 2015

[Sally Khudairi]

What?

Really? I had it in the "Did You Know?" section last week as 10th also.


AND, more importantly, if my calculations are off, then in 

https://blogs.apache.org/foundation/date/20141119


the 2013 entry as "eighth consecutive year" is wrong too.

Who has the correct count? It really is 11? Not that I don't trust you, I now 
am feeling quite lost.

Cheers,
Sally

Hi Sally,

probably not. Accepted student projects will only be announced on April 27, 
long after ApacheCon is
over.

Cheers,

Uli

Re: ASF accepted as a mentoring organization for Google Summer of Code 2015

[Ulrich Stärk]

Hey Sally,

I just read the announcement and it says "The ASF has been accepted as a Google 
Summer of Code
mentoring organization for the 10th consecutive year".

If I'm not mistaken it's the 11th year ;)

Cheers,

Uli

Re: ASF accepted as a mentoring organization for Google Summer of Code 2015

[Sally Khudairi]

Just a quick question on this.
Seeing that there will be some members of ComDev as well as PMCs at ApacheCon, 
is it likely that any in-person mentoring/hackathon/MeetUps/* will take place 
there?
I know it's not common practice for GSoC, but I was curious if we'd be open to 
anything like that. Humans huddling and all...

should be able to provide details on GSoC at ASF. I will be there as well and

Hey Sally & Co.,

this year we won't forget to provide you with some infos on our GSoC 
endeavours. Yesterday, we have
been accepted as a mentoring organization for Google Summer of Code 2015 
[1],[2]. This means that
over the summer, our committers will mentor students that are sponsored by 
Google and will be
working on our projects. The program helps us not only to get some code written 
but also to
introduce students into open source development and hopefully recruit some new 
long-term committers.
More information on the program is available at [3]. Students are now 
encouraged to discuss ideas
with the respective projects and begin drafting proposals. An extensive list of 
already existing
project ideas is available at [4]. The actual application phase is from March 
16 until March 27,

coding

will take place from May 25 to August 21. See [5] for the detailed timeline.

Can you please run any press release past us (dev@community.apache.org


<mailto:dev@community.apache.org>

<mailto:dev@community.apache.org <mailto:dev@community.apache.org>>) before 
publishing?







Thanks,

Sally we could weave this into the diversity angle, as a reminder I intend to 
use the state of the feather to acknowledge that we have mostly failed to move 
the needle on diversity in our community, that very little works (GSoC is a 
good example of something that does work), accept we don’t have significant 
cash resources to make a big difference and therefore we have invited TEALs to 
present, organize a BOF and have a table in the expo area. TEALs help get 
people like our vast army of volunteers into high schools to help improve CS 
education. My hope is that by supporting activities like this we can have a 
small impact on the quality and breadth of CS education for those coming to us 
as contributors in later years.

What do you think? If this works for you I could link you to the TEALs people 
to help with content for a blog.

Oh, and I will be at ApacheCon.

<mailto:dev@community.apache.org<mailto:dev@community.apache.org>>Hey Sally & 
Co.,this year we won't forget to provide you with some infos on our GSoC 
endeavours. Yesterday, we havebeen accepted as a mentoring organization for 
Google Summer of Code 2015 [1],[2]. This means thatover the summer, our 
committers will mentor students that are sponsored by Google and will beworking 
on our projects. The program helps us not only to get some code written but 
also tointroduce students into open source development and hopefully recruit 
some new long-term committers.More information on the program is available at 
[3]. Students are now encouraged to discuss ideaswith the respective projects 
and begin drafting proposals. An extensive list of already existingproject 
ideas is available at [4]. The actual application phase is from March 16 until 
March 27,codingwill take place from May 25 to August 21. See [5] for the 
detailed timeline.Can you please run any press release past us 
(dev@community.apache.org<mailto:dev@community.apache.org><mailto:dev@community.apache.org

RE: ASF accepted as a mentoring organization for Google Summer of Code 2015

[Ross Gardler (MS OPEN TECH)]

Sally we could weave this into the diversity angle, as a reminder I intend to 
use the state of the feather to acknowledge that we have mostly failed to move 
the needle on diversity in our community, that very little works (GSoC is a 
good example of something that does work), accept we don’t have significant 
cash resources to make a big difference and therefore we have invited TEALs to 
present, organize a BOF and have a table in the expo area. TEALs help get 
people like our vast army of volunteers into high schools to help improve CS 
education. My hope is that by supporting activities like this we can have a 
small impact on the quality and breadth of CS education for those coming to us 
as contributors in later years.

What do you think? If this works for you I could link you to the TEALs people 
to help with content for a blog.

Oh, and I will be at ApacheCon.

Hi Sally,

I am sure Ross and few others from ComDev will also be there at ApacheCon and 
should be able to provide details on GSoC at ASF. I will be there as well and 
also have a talk accepted on the same topic - http://sched.co/2P6f 
<http://sched.co/2P6f> 

Please let me know if you would like to promote anything specific on GSoC, I 
will be happy to help and will appreciate your efforts.

Thanks, Uli.
I did post about it in our weekly news round-up.
Happy to work with you on a press release. Who is the ASF lead on GSoC. You? 
Who from ComDev will be at ApacheCon? Are you planning to do something special 
there?

Re: Google Summer of Code 2015 Mentor Registration

[Hadrian Zbarcea]

Is there a compiled list anywhere of the ASF projects proposed for 
GSOC2015? Couldn't find it. Jira searches for the GSOC2015 gave me 
results kinda all over the place.


Thanks,

Dear PMCs,

I'm happy to announce that the ASF has made it onto the list of 137 accepted 
organizations for
Google Summer of Code 2015! [1,2]

It is now time for the mentors to sign up, so please pass this email on to your 
community and
podlings. If you aren’t already subscribed to ment...@community.apache.org you 
should do so now else
you might miss important information.

Mentor signup requires two steps: mentor signup in Melange and PMC 
acknowledgement.

If you want to mentor a project in this year's SoC you will have to

1. Be an Apache committer.
2. Register with Melange and set up a profile [3].
3. Add your username (formerly known as link_id) to [4]. This is NOT your email 
address but your
Melange username. You can find it at the top of any page once you are logged in.
4. Request an acknowledgement from the PMC for which you want to mentor 
projects. Use the below
template and do not forget to copy ment...@community.apache.org.
5. Once a PMC member acknowledges the request to mentor, and only then, go to 
[5] and send a
connection request.

PMCs, read carefully please.

We request that each mentor is acknowledged by a PMC member. This is to ensure 
the mentor is in good
standing with the community. When you receive a request for acknowledgement, 
please ACK it and cc
ment...@community.apache.org

Lastly, it is not yet too late to record your ideas in Jira (see my previous 
emails for details).
Students will now begin to explore ideas so if you haven’t already done so, 
record your ideas
immediately!

Cheers,

Uli

Re: Google Summer of Code - Quick Query

[Ulrich Stärk]

Hi Manoj,

this question is best asked on the Spark mailing lists (copied). From a formal 
point of view all
that counts is your proposal in Melange once applications start but your mentor 
or the project you
wish to contribute to may have additional requirements.

Cheers,

Uli

Google Summer of Code - Quick Query

[Manoj Kumar]

Hello,

I am Manoj, a prospective student from the Apache Spark project. I have
been contributing to Spark and discussing the project idea with my mentor
for some time now. The tentative project has a number of JIRA's associated
with it. I would still like to know if it is necessary to create an
umbrella JIRA with all the other JIRA's  linked to it (and tagged with
gsoc) or is it sufficient to just upload a proposal when the registration
opens.

mentors. I am a Java programmer but i haven't contributed to Apache
projects and to any open source organization yet. But i am a quick
learner and some of the projects at Apache have interested me and i am
looking to contribute in the same. But is the amount of contribution
of a particular individual considered for that student  to be a part

which project i must start will be valuable for me.

for Proposals

From:   Mary Radomile 
To: google-summer-of-code-mentors-list 




Hi Everyone-

Sorry about the permission issues with the information page linked in the 
original email. We are
working on the problem now.  Below is all the information you'll need to 
participate:

---

*Google Summer of Code Doc Camp - a partnership of GSoC, Aspiration and FLOSS 
Manuals
*
This is a call for proposals for the 2013 GSoC Doc Camp. Individuals and 
projects are invited to
submit proposals for the GSoC Doc Camp to be held at Google's Mountain View 
headquarters in
California from October 14 - October 18.
*
What is it?*

The GSoC Doc Camp is a place for free software communities to meet, work on 
creating a book for
their project, attract new people to their efforts, and share their 
documentation experiences. The
camp aims to improve free documentation materials and skills in free software 
projects and
individuals and help form the identity of the emergent free documentation 
sector.The Doc Camp will
consist of 2 major components - an unconference and 2-4 short (3 day) Book 
Sprints to produce books
for the selected projects.

The unconference will explore topics proposed by the participants. Any topic on 
free documentation
of free software can be proposed for discussion during the event.

Each Book Sprint will bring together 4-5 individuals to produce a book on a 
specific free software
project. All participants of the Doc Camp must attend a sprint. The books will 
be launched online in
print and ebook formats on the final day of the event.

*Who should come?*
Individuals and free software projects can apply. All individuals will be 
required to work on one of
the selected projects to assist their documentation efforts.

*How to I get involved?*
Individuals with a passion for free documentation about free software may apply 
to attend by filling
out the application form [1] and submitting before August 7. Those wishing to 
attend do not need to
be from a GSoC project. Accommodation and food will be covered by the GSoC Doc 
Camp. Partial or
complete travel costs can also be applied for as part of the application 
process.

Free software projects of any sort can also apply - they do not need to be GSoC 
2013 projects
although these may be given preference.

Projects will be chosen from proposals submitted to the GSoC Doc Camp before 
August 7 through the
application form [2]. Project applications can nominate up to 5 individuals to 
attend and
participate in the proposed sprint. A Project proposal does not have to 
nominate individuals to
participate - you can also use this as an opportunity to promote your project 
to Doc Camp
participants and extend your documentation community. If the proposal is 
accepted the accommodation
and food costs will be covered by the Doc Camp for any listed individuals and 
part or complete
travel costs for each can be applied for (if applicable).

The 2013 GSoC Doc Camp is co-organized by GSoC, Aspiration and FLOSS Manuals. 
Unconference
facilitation conducted by Allen Gunn, and Book Sprint facilitated by Adam Hyde.

Thanks Dave --you are correct on both fronts.

This is also why both the TLP list and Incubator projects/URLs are mentioned.
